Ball python pushing against screen lid

[someonehelp]

Sounds like she wants OUT, & that should be telling you something. A 2' snake could probably use a larger cage, for one thing, but I'm MORE concerned about her
EXACT temperatures & HOW accurate they are (where are you taking them & with what?). BPs are usually low-key, so for her to desperately push on the screen suggests
that she is uncomfortable, & most likely TOO HOT...as a cold snake gets less active & tends to hide. So fix this A.S.A.P. for her health & safety. We aren't seeing her
cage or details...I hope I'm wrong, but fear I'm right. Snakes also NEED TWO hides...one cool side of cage & one warm side of cage, FYI. A previous escape will also
tend to make a snake more likely to try to escape, as they DO learn their way around (or in this case, how to get out), but it still suggests that her home is not to her
liking (ie. comfort).

Thank you for your response! I actually did have a larger tank when I first got her and she did not like it. She refused to eat and was extremely active. I befriended someone who has multiple reptiles and she is the one who helped me with getting my new supplies. I am monitoring the temperature with a controller that plugs into the CHE lamp and also a hygrometer in the tank. By the way, the CHE lamp does not emit light, only heat (84-86 degrees). When I moved her into this she stayed in her hide all the time for two weeks and finally ate a frozen thawed (I had been struggling with this, I’ve had her about 2 months). When she got the mild infection, that’s when I had to change the bedding to paper towels and keep the humidity very low. This is when she escaped. Since i put her back in this is the when she started pushing. I continued the treatment and the vet gave me the go to put her back in the humid environment, but it has continued. So with that it seems like it’s because she’s learned that’s how she’s escaped, which she can’t do anymore. Just not sure how to get her to stop. She used to love it and I put it back exactly how it was.
