I had a large adult (135cm) in one of those tanks like you are considering, and he would spend hours at night roaming the tank. He would go up one side and try to crawl upside down along the bottom of the screen until he would fall over. I was so worried he was going to hurt himself that I finally set him up in a 60 quart tub (85cm X 48cm X 15cm). It had about the same floor space as the tank, just not the height. After that, the only time I would see him moving was usually going from one hide to the other. From my experience, anything over 35cm (14 inches) is too tall and they don't like it. If anything, the largest tank I would recommend for a large adult would be either a 30 or 40 gallon breeder. But for any snake under about 105cm would probably do best in a 20 gal Long which will measure about 75cm X 30cm X 30cm. Hope this helps.
I'm going to post a pic of him doing the climbing that you said yours does. I used to have alot of fake vines around the top of the tank, but he kept tearing them down. So finally, I took them out and left a few down low for him to go under. But to answer your question, it is not normal for them to keep doing this constantly and is a sign of stress...
