Is this normal nighttime behavior?
Hi all, I'm a new snake owner and decided on a Hog Island Boa thinking he would stay mostly manageable as I learn about these fascinating creatures. My snake, Sebastian, is approximately one year (I was told by the pet store) and is just over four feet long. I have him in a screen top cage which is 36"x12"X12". I went slightly small on the cage because I intend to custom build a larger enclosure within 6 months.
At night, I notice Sebastian spends hours trying to get out of his cage and I'm wondering if this is normal behavior. He definitely sleeps all day and he is very chill when being handled. I know snakes are often nocturnal but I want to make sure he isn't unduly stressed. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you.
