No worries people don't always read all of the posts nor do they always put two and two together. Now I will say this though. Mykee comes across pretty blunt because he is pretty blunt but he knows royals hands down. He can give you some great advice but it tends to be abrasive.

Sorry had a crazy day, lol. let me rephrase that.. not sure how to word it..
Snakes don't start hunting WHEN they become hungry, they start hunting when they realize they're going to starve if they don't find food soon. Ideally a snake will be an opportunistic hunter in that is minimizes its travel (thus conserving energy) and find a good place to hide and eat. Now, if you dont feed a snake for a while (or they become "trained" to know when youre going to feed them...) they may behave differently when feeding time comes around, yes. But in general, unless a snake is a lot more than "oh hey im hungry now" in the sense the OP was thinking of (i believe) then they wont go searching for food.
hope that makes sense, i was basically saying "your snake is probably searching because you aren't feeding it enough, they don't normally do that unless..
A. they're used to a specific feeding schedule or smell you thawing food and want to find where the smell is coming from
or
B. you aren't feeding it enough.
