    Exploring usually means a snake that doesn't feel secure &/or wants out (too warm, hungry, whatever)...another sign is not eating. You need to re-design his home if you want this snake to survive, because he NEEDS to be eating & for that, I'm betting he needs privacy.

    Temps are not quite right- not cool enough on the low side (you want 78-80* F.) & not WARM enough on the high side (you want just under 90* F.) because a snake that's not warm enough is going to keep refusing food. (Last meal taken, I assume you meant 11/3/2023???)

    Also- that's a big wide open enclosure- great for maybe a rat snake but not a shy BP- BPs want privacy, clutter, places to hide. Not bright lighting. It's just all wrong for this kind of snake.

    If you've been handling this snake, STOP, until he's feeding reliably for a while.
