I feed based off the fattest part of my snake,well a bit bigger than his girthiest part of his body..but idk,my guy is forever in his hide,they both are. So I am def not sure why yours is constantly out and about,one things can think of is his prey is too small..once I bumped up food size for my ghost,he rarely ever comes out anymore. He sees me at the front of the tank for his hide,he now pops his head put expecting food,the pig he is...
