She wants to eat but something like a reflection is spooking her.
I don't think snakes could really see their own reflection off of glass, maybe a mirror, but probably not glass. The wide open space and clear 4 sides of the tank is probably putting a lot of stress on her. All he needs to do is cover up all sides besides the front to help the snake feel more secure, since the snake feels like its out in the open along with the open cage space.
