My adult albino gopher snake, Jasmine, has lived in a large custom enclosure (4 feet by 2 feet by 1 foot) since I got her 3 months ago. Now, she is spending a lot of time pacing her cage & is constantly "testing" the plexiglass doors w/ her nose. I've tried giving her new things to explore, a rock, a paper towel roll & she's enjoyed those, but she's still pacing & rubbing. I have been breeding my male & female corns & the female just laid her eggs this weekend.
Do you think she's smelling all that breeding activity & is looking for love? I'm worried she's going to get a nose rub. Any help would be appreciated.

It very well may be her reacting to the season, she may be looking to escape so she can mate. I am not certain if the Corns have anything to do with it but many snakes are in breeding mode this time of year. The only other thing I can think of is she may be feeling overheated, other than that the only thing you can do is ad an extra hide box or two. Tom Stevens
