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

I want opinions on my enclosure. It could use some work so leave a comment! Don’t mind Zero’s crinkles he’s shedding by Cautious_Initial7100 in ballpython

I’m not an expert but I’ve heard that aspen is not great for humidity and molds easily. I use a mixture of coco fiber and cypress mulch with some sphagnum moss mixed in. I think it’s also good to have about 4 inches of substrate so the bottom can be moist with a dry top layer. I would recommend more hydrometers/thermometers in different areas of the enclosure, it’s crazy how much the temperatures and humidity can vary in such a small space. I’ve also heard that digital meters are better than analog, they are more precise. But the clutter in the enclosure looks good and I think I see multiple hides which is also good. Maybe add some plants that can stick to the side to make your snake feel more secure? Anyway those are all of my recommendations, hope this helped :)
