    Restless Snake

    One of my babies seems very restless, everytime I get up he seems to be woke no matter what time of day or night it is. As soon as I take the lid off his tub he reaches up towards me & crawls in my hand. He's very sweet and curious I just don't really see him sleeping. I always see him moving around. Like now I just took his top off his tub to mist it & he crawled in my hand now he's climbing my back. The same thing happened earlier I was just changing his water and he put his head on my hand like he wanted to be picked up

    I am by no means an experienced keeper (have my 1st snake for a month or so) but one thing I've learned quickly is

    A happy snake is the one you rarely see.

    Ergo check your set up: temps, humidity, hides etc. Are those on point?

    It's hard to tell.... but as shelpen said, it could be that he's trying to get away from where he is... What are your temps and humidity like? Tank size? Hides? what are you using to measure heat and humidity?

    For what it's worth, I rarely see more than the head of my bp poking out of her hide.

    Fed him last week, but he's really thin so I'm thinking about feeding him twice a week until he
    gets some more weight on him

    Your cool temp seems a bit high (should be 78-82F) and while your hot temp is perfect you could afford to drop it a little (hot side should be 88-92F), so if I were you I'd drop the temps a little and see if that changes anything. Also if he is under 300g you can increase feeding to once every 5 days.
