That's an awfully big enclosure for such a tiny baby. Also those thermometers are positioned too high up to be giving you useful information about the temps your snake is experiencing lower down on its level. The behavior you're describing is that of a snake that finds its environment uncomfortable in some way. I would suggest moving the thermometers down a bit closer to your substrate, and also get a read of the temps with an infrared thermometer- one of the point a shoot kinds. Secondly, try to add more tank decor. An enclosure that big can be used for your kid to grow into, but your snake is a prey animal in the wild and right now it's far too open and exposed. Your snake should have a path that allows it be able to travel from one side of the enclosure to the other without being seen. Try to clutter it up with more branches and some fake plants.
