I have a young adult fem Nelsoni. That I've been keeping for over a year, she was a little jumpy when I got her, but never had probles feeding.
She passed the jumpy stage about a year ago, and has been pretty calm. 6 weeks ago she just went crazy, flighty and stopped eating. this has got me concerned as I want to breed her next year. Nothing has changed with he enclosue, she is checked on daily and always has been,except for the last few weeks. I've giving her a little space but she still like a coild spring. She is other wise in very good health.
I've never had an adult snake go crazy for such a long time for no apparent reson.
This is the first Nelsoni and was wondering if this is normal for this species to go through a flighty stage again when they reach adult hood ?
I'm at a loss for ideas ?

Giver the snake a cooler retreat that she can bury herself in. Sometimes that helps. I use the coconut fiber substrate like Eco Earth.

Oh, and slightly damp (not wet and not dry.)

Thank you. Mark I'll give it a try.
your actual temps. This time of year with all the heat outside can give you higher temps in the terrariums, which can lead to VERY flighty snakes.
