My 2 and a half year old Woma python has developed a habit of head butting the glass doors of of his vivarium, he doesn't seem to hurt himself or anything but once he starts doing it he won't stop till he gets tired. He's done this since I've had him, I bought him from a reputable woman breeder when he was a yearling. I've always thought that he did this to tell me that he wanted to get out of his vivarium so I always handle him when he starts to butt his head. But once i handle him even if he's been out for a long time he will persist to continue to head butt the doors when I put him back in his vivarium. I know Womas are known to be burrowers so I thought maybe he was trying to burrow through his doors. Has anyone owned or knows a woma python that does this?
I'm worried that the head butting is bad for him. When i say head butting he doesn't actually bang his head against the glass. He pushes his head continually. The video is of him doing the behaviour.
