Well, where to start...One; glass aquariums are fine to keep snakes in, and they do eventually realize that there is glass, so that is not anything to worry about. Next...make sure that when you feed your snake that its body temp is up pretty high, low temp seems to affect their movements, including striking at food(this is a big one for my burm, she misses and gets me sometimes hehe). The eyecaps; something to worry about, but they ARE pretty obvious when they are retained. I had a ball that had ticks in its eyes when I got him and he always retained his eyecaps, which was odd because peralysis ticks aren't supposed to be on domestically bred snakes, I have my assumptions. As far as the touchiness goes around the head, that should be expected with any new snake, just handle a lot, and when he/she is in the tank, make sure it feels comfortable.
Hmmmm, what else...?(sorry its kinda early).
Oh, mites or ticks may account for the bumping and rubbing, or it may be trying to shed; something to check. Good luck.
