HAHAHA, you'll never escape!!
All my bp seems to do when she is not sleeping is trying to escape her enclosure. She calms down when I take her out, then when I try to put her back in her enclosure, she tries to slither up my arm, or hook her "neck" on the side of the enclosure.
Her temps and humidity are good. Does anyone elses bps do this? Or is she just being curious?

Mine does the same. Several times when I've gone in to the room she's in after lights out I've watched her climb up on her tree and check out every inch of the wire top on her cage.

My BP does this too. it *does* get in the way of feeding sometimes when he'd rather climb up the tongs than eat the food. i find that he gets less stressed if i let him climb out of the tank on his own when it's handling time. Otherwise, as long as your tank is escape proof, there's nothing to worry about

Funny, our BCI has never tried to escape. We did have a Kenyan escapee not too long ago though.

My ball does that too. She is in a 3 foot long tank and I often wonder if she'd be happier in a larger one.

lilyskip,
Letting the snake come out on it's own is a good idea. I think I'll start doing that. Probably less stressful eh?

Not necessarily... excessive "escape-like" behaviour can lead to such issues as nose rub, absesses, and mouthrot

My ball does that when he's hungry and that is a good sign to offer food.
...you should see my burm doing that!...running like a fugitive from side to side of the cage
