IMHO you should take Randy's advice, and also think long and hard about anything that might have changed in the last month or two. I dunno whether your change in activity in that room has been enough to stress the snake or not, but that constant movement around the tank is a good sign that *something* is stressing him out. And that stress can easily lead to disease.

IMHO you should probably also raise the temp in the warm end of the tank, AS LONG AS the snake has the option to get away from the heat as well. Heat can be an important part of boosting a reptile's immune response if it is coming down with something.

Good luck with him!
