    lol My adult male usually starts 'pacing' like crazy starting around late February or March. I think males will often get the urge to cover a lot of ground in spring time like they would searching for a mate.
    With yours being so young though, I imagine he's just curious/active or maybe he just caught on that you bring food.

    Even more of a reason "Do not stuff" Some baby/young snakes can die from too much food.

    For a baby every other day with a nice meal would be fine. Their little furnaces are on high and they go through the food rather quickly. Watch the belly. If you see a bulge on a food day just skip that day.
    Just my opinion.

    I would imagine that it is one of 5 things.


    1. The cage is too small.
    2. Not enough hides.
    3. Looking for a mate.
    4. Hungry.
    5. Wants to get out.
