My first thought is hides as well as a bit too much open space leaving the snake feeling exposed, nervous and restless. Hit your local dollar store and look for small dark plastic bowls (like a small cereal bowl type of thing). My local store sells them 3 for $1.00 and they are dark blue in color. Melt or cut an entrance hole either in the roof (bottom of the bowl) or in the side that is just big enough for the snake to enter with a fully tummy. Place one at each end and one in the middle to help the snake have something to dart into if it's feeling unsure of it's environment.
Also where in your house is this tank set up? If it's in a busy room with lots of vibrations from people moving around and so forth you may want to relocate it to a quieter room until the snake matures a bit. Remember when these snakes are smaller everything is a possible predator to them so they tend to be more nervy and easily stressed.
