    In addition to my agreement with all the previous answers, what does she have in the way of 'hides'? Remember you've provided very little information & we are not
    seeing the set-up. A snake that feels insecure may try to escape, looking for some place more suitable to hide...this is a basic need. If the hides are not provided (at
    least 2, one on cool side & one warm side) OR if they don't meet her needs (too big or too small, or too "open" like those open-ended tree bark tunnels) your snake will
    not feel safe and will therefore try to find a place that does.

    A 120 gal. tank is pretty large for a BP...and it's location matters too. Snakes prefer privacy, without a lot of nearby activity. Sometimes covering (& insulating) the sides,
    back, part of the bottom & maybe even the lower part of the front may help reduce their insecurity. You can try putting a beach towel over half the tank to see if that helps?
