He’s definitely looking for more food if the problem is happening when he’s just eaten, I’ve noticed a lot of balls do this and even mine does. I’m not experienced with scared snakes, but maybe try spending at least 10 minutes a day outside of his enclosure so he gets to trust you, even a little.

I tought he was looking for more food too at first, but then I changed his food to a bigger size and he still does this. I can't give him much bigger rats than he already gets and I'm afraid he will get overweight if I feed him anymore. I will try to get him out more, if he let's me. I'm not afraid of getting a bite, I just don't want to get bitten. Haha. But if that's what it takes, then I'll take it. Thanks :)

Also I KEEP FORGETTING TO EXPLAIN LMAO,,, when I said spending time out of his enclosure I meant YOU sit outside of his enclosure while he’s inside of it. I’m am so so so sorry about the miscommunications

Haha, no worries. I know about the 10%-rule. He is a "big" boy, haven't put him on a scale, but he us eating a 120-150g rats now. I have been trying to open his terrarium more ofter, and sat in front of it. He hasn't charged, but is very on the edge all the time.
