Banging at the glass all the time?

My BTS constantly paces up and down and bangs his head now and then on his glass sliding doors, open it and he crawls out. Now his tank is really big and plenty of room. I get him out everyday and let him run round the house a few hours but as soon as I put him back in his housing he starts crawling at the glass to come back out! Is this normal and should I let him out more? He's already comes out couple of hours some owners don't ever let them room about.

You may have inadvertently taught him that banging the glass means you'll give him attention and/or let him out

I would see if never taking him out when banging but removing him when he is resting will fix the problem.

If this is a recent behaviour it may be due to it being breeding season and your skink is feeling "frisky" and may pass in a week or so

Sounds like a male looking for some ladies. :-)

Yes he is a big male, sat here trying to ignore him, but beginning to feel sorry for him wanting to come out, I have a big enclosed garden he can go out there for a bit tomorrow in the warm sun, thanks for replies
