I dont know if this is something to be alarmed about, but my 4 month old BP has been extreamly active as of late.

He eats on sundays (small feeder mouse) and he usually sleeps sunday to monday/tuesday...but after that, he is up...almost constantly. This has been going on the past 2 weeks.

He always tries to get out of the cage, and I am wondering why.

-Am I not feeding him enough?...he is almost 2 and a half feet long, and I feed him one feeder mouse a week

-Does he not feel secure?...I have to hide boxes for him on both the cool and warm side of the tank

-Is it too hot?...I have both a UTH and a heating lamp that I turn off at night

-Is his enclousure too small?...again he is 2 1/2 feet and hes in a 10 gal tank
