Is it normal for a young ball python to constantly be trying to "run" when being handled? I have only had boas up until we got our new pinstripe ball python. My current boa as well as the one I had 20 years ago tend to wrap and sit still for the most part. Our current one will explore a little but seems content to just chill when held. Both our current snakes (the boa and python) are roughly the same age at just a few months old.
