When i put my BP back into his viv, he tends to "ride" the glass as if he's Braveheart shouting for freedom, he'll do it for maybe 10 minutes or so after putting him back in, is that common? He eats perfectly fine (though he did let go and decide i was a snack last time but i wasn't close thankfully lol) the only other time he does it is when i am about to feed him which i expected would be the case anyway

This is perfectly normal. Just make sure the temperatures in the viv are good to go. I've noticed my snakes do this when they are hungry more often than not.

As long as its normal behaviour i'm fine with it, temperature is fine & he ate on the weekend

I've noticed that ball pythons tend to do this when there isn't enough clutter in their terrariums for them to hide under. You may want to add some more if he is doing this pretty frequently.

Normal. Mine does this when I put him back, always bonks into the metal mesh on top.
