You sure this is normal behavior?

imo,they can do it for multipule reasons,mating season,exploring,looking for a way out,etc

they can also do it through,nervousness or stress

as said,check your husbandry,temperatures,etc

i wouldn't worry too much,just keep an eye on the end of its nose,as sometimes a nervous snake can rub scales/skin off,leaving raw graizes

i'm sure he/she will calm down a little,after settling in,or after breeding season,if looking for a mates the reason,for the restlesness and the roaming of the tank

from the picture,it reminds me of the way,a few of my carpets used to act,imo they were just exploring their tank,also most likely looking for an escape route

Shaun you are correct. Those are all reasons they may seem restless. In my experience it's usually the males who get restless at breeding season, then the females get restless when they are about to lay. I still think it will help her a lot to feed a little more. Usually snakes that are fed well, and feel full, will want to find a quiet spot to digest the meal.
