yes i think they do get frustrated.
atleast, if hes trying to escape and you continue to block him off then he'll probably start moving faster and generally being a bit more grumpy.

im pretty sure BP's do learn.
a few times ive watched mine after handling and a couple of days ago i put him in one side of the cage and within a matter of seconds he was in the cool hide at the other side of the cage (which is a good 2ft from where i placed him, and theres alot of obstacles between there and the hide). he didnt hesitate and he didnt even flick his tongue, he knew where he wanted to go and went straight there. i would suggest that he recognised the path through touch rather than the use of heat or scent. whenever they go anywhere snakes always seem to go the route of most friction and ill bet that they remember pathways due to that.
