He might even be trying to find a place to hide that offers him security. What are your temps like? What does your set up look like?
Thanks Snakehobbyist for your comment. My setup is fairly simple and I don't have any issues with temps as I live in the tropics anyway (Malaysia!). So my temps get about 29 degrees (Celsius) during the night and up to 32-33 degrees in the day. So you're saying that every time if the snake is out during the evening/night, it means it's hungry? Lol I thought the boy just wanted to stretch himself!

He's usually out during the day (in the mornings) but will return to his hide in the afternoon and come out again in the evening/night. I guess this is not normal?
