Ive had my snake for nearly a month now, and after all four of her feeds she's has carried on roaming the RUB for a couple of hours. I thought they usually settled down to digest afterwards. Is this an indicator of something other than a hyperactive Corn?

As long as she digests her food ok I wouldn't worry too much. I assume she's ok and is eating her food (the correct sized mouse) properly, pooing after a couple of days or so? Is she healthy in every way that you can see? I'm quite new to snakes too but if I'm completely wrong on this I will happily stand corrected (and learn) when one of our experts gives you their advise. One thing I'm wondering.....could she be looking for more food? Maybe she needs the next size up or two mice? Anyway, you're in the right place here, somebody with experience will help soon I'm sure. :)

It will be looking for food, as it thinks food is in the area. Remember though, just because its looking for another meal, doesnt mean it needs one.

The first feed i gave her one pinkie, but the shop had said they were about to move her up to two so ive been giving her two the last three times. She's eating and pooing fine so it's all good. I fed her about an hour ago, and she's gone into her hide already, so everything is groovy ^^ Thanks for the advice
