Unhappy Re: Adult corn snake suddenly very hyper

OK wow. I really don't know what I'm doing wron rn. The temps are all right the humidity is great and I have a box hide, a wet box, and two extra hides scattered in the enclosure and this snake still seems stressed and unhappy. I'm actually really sad because when I got her she was an incredibly calm snake. I kept her together with another cornsnake and it almost seems like that's how she's been kept her whole life because I've noticed her acting weird since my older cornsnake died.... do corn snakes form bonds? Can it be that my snake had become this flighty and weird because she's alone?

I tried handling her again today because since she started acting this way I've been very hesitant to take her out as she flails around and musks whenever I handle her even though i changed nothing about how I handle her. She's also rejecting food now. Has skipped three feedings and km starting to fear she might do the same "don't eat for months, eat a few meals, die" thing my other cornsnake did....

She's also starting to damage her head scales by rubbing on stuff like the lamp cage of her heating bulb. I'm very worried about what might be going on with her......
