So I guess he can't be that cold

Thanks for all the advice,

I'm not trying to burst you bubble or anything but the cruising and exploring is actually a sign of stress. It is also completely normal for a new snake to do a lot of cruising for the first couple weeks until they get used to the surrounds and realize nothing it going to come eat them. A lot of new owners mistake the constant cruising for their snake being happy, and that usually isn't the case.

A lot of people get their first snake as a sort of impulse buy and then realize all the mistakes they have made. The same thing happened to me too The nice thing about it is you learn from those mistakes and once you get everything figured out, it is smooth sailing.
