if i were you id watch him carefully. im sure you always do this, but make sure he isn't hungry. we had a red tail boa and he was acting perfectly fine..next thing we know he had bitten himself. we helped him detach from himself, fed him just to be safe and went to bed. we woke up and he had bitten his own neck as close as he could to his head and he was dead. we don't know why this happened. i had never heard of a snake killing its self.. so just keep a close eye on him.
