Bad Habit to Start?
I have my JCP in my office, which leads to the den she's the only snake from any of the snakes I have now and have had in the past that just seems to always enjoy moving and exploring. She's very active during the day and night and will occasionally take breaks some days. So lately, whenever I know I'll be at home for a few hours and she out of her hide, I've been opening up her cage and just keeping it open, and every time I go back to check up on her, she'll be completely out exploring, or she'll end up in the den. I'll let her explore for 30-45mins and then put her back in.
Some benefits I've found; she's completely dropped her hiss she used to do when you approached her, no longer head shy at all and just find her easier to hold and move around, feel like she trusts me more now. I believe she definitely enjoys the stretch and moving, plus I know it sounds crazy but she seems happier.
I'm not worried about her getting hurt while she's out, as my office is literally a desk with my laptop on it, and the den is couches, tables, and everything else is inside the wall. Plus I am close by supervising.
I have noticed now she'll hang out beside the door and lift her head in the air, almost as to get my attention, and as soon as I slide that door open, she'll come right out!
So my question is, I have never had a snake that was a "pusher", could what I'm doing result in her starting to push on days I can't let her out?
Anything else that may come out of this that would be bad?
