is it natural that my ball python keep on trying to escape?

If he does it too much, even during the day, it generally means to doublecheck your hot spot and cold side temps.

I see you're using those analog hygrometers/thermometers. Those are very inaccurate and basically useless. Do get a digital hygrometer/thermometer, like Acurite. I'd also get a temp gun to measure surface temps.

Perfect response !
