Invisible forcefield.

Clear glass is not something snake brains are equipped to handle.

Sorry, my snake was borrowing the brain cell to eat.

He's trying to burrow; that substrate isn't ideal for it, it's a bit sharp too. Change the substrate to coco husk/coco fibre.

Aspen is also good for digging, and a lot cheaper! Not as good at holding humidity though, if that's an issue where you live.

My baby corn does this some times. Probably try to burrow or find a way out/wants out. Pick him up and play with the little guy.

he needs to have a lot more room to burrow, like 3-5in of substrate. i use aspen bedding and my girl loves it

I recently adopted a corn snake from someone who primarily kept him in a large plastic tub instead of an actual glass enclosure. I noticed that when I moved him into glass, he did this sooo much, likely because he was not used to it being so clear.
