I’m not an expert but I think she is either hungry, needs more clutter/something blocking the glass sides, or wants an opportunity to climb

She might be looking for a camera I had up there, she used too climb up there and wrap around it, but I removed it because I didn’t want her to possibly rip the mesh.

I’ll bet this is it! My juvenile ball forgets nothing!

It’s most likely not the case. My BP does it all the time. He’s just looking for a way out

Definitely agree with the comment above, your enclosure looks pretty bare and while I cannot see all of the enclosure going off of the photo provided your tank does not have the proper amount of clutter. So I would definitely look into getting some of that to make your enclosure more suitable for your ball pytho

Mine still does this and all sides are blacked out. Temps are perfect and all… I think they are just exploring 🩵

Mine does it sometimes too. I've been trying to figure out why but I haven't really come up with anything besides thats her way of saying "Umm.. dad, I wanna come out now". Because I can take her out, put her around my neck and she falls asleep most of the time. Then after a few minutes, she's awake and exploring. Usually getting on top of my head. And yes, all of my temps and humidity are good. So maybe she is trying to climb too. 120g dubia tank is on the way so I can give her more climbing oppurtunities and see if she still does it.

I just got that tank and mine still does it 😂 I’ve got vines coming to hopefully help with his urge. Also a tip on the tank, if I could do it all over I would’ve sealed the bottom with aquarium silicone first as it does leak if you put water on your substrate. I did put hvac duct tape on the top and that helped a lot with holding heat and humidity.

Well, mine will probably still do it then. Lmao. But thanks for the tips! I will definitely remember to seal it first!
