I'll add that you are not the first person to notice that a solitary kingsnake in a larger cage can result in the snake spending lots of time looking for an escape. Things changed for him, he is looking (maybe?) for the place he was accustomed to, including scent. Maybe the extra space elicits a sense of possible freedom? Just guessing here. Could be just a male looking for a mate as mentioned or the other reasons mentioned.



I do know that he will eventually look at the new cage as his home range so to speak, especially after he poops in there a few times.
