Mine seems to do the same thing (trying to get out) the day before I feed him, so I'm thinking it's a hunger issue too because the next day I'll feed him and he'll calm down for another 5-6 days. Then he's usually active again for a night until I feed him.
I also feed frozen and sometimes he will simply sniff it and eat it like someone above said. Other times he'll strike and constrict it. I'm guessing Pandora thought it was dead and didn't realize she had to kill it before eating.
I have jungle vines that I bought from a local pet store that have suction cups on the end. I suction them the back of the cage and it looks really nice, plus he loves to play in them. I think that would give the same look/effect you are going for with twist tying them to the cover, but without the hassle
