    Do ball pythons get less active as they get older?
    My hatchling is pretty active compared to most ball pythons I've seen. He likes to explore and slither around in your hands instead of just wrap around your hand and stay still the whole time. I really like that about him, but is that just something that hatchlings do, or will he be active like that into adulthood?

    In my own experience I have found that a young snake that is super active will Melo a bit but always still be active as it ages. Maybe not as squirrely but still active .

    I find that my adults don't really move much in their tubs, but when they are out they are quite active. Much more manageable than a hatchling.

    My hatchlings are usually more active in the tubs and all balled up when I take them out. There are a few that aren't so scared and will slither around, but for the most part they stay balled up.

    Their activity tends to cycle. They are more active when hungry or horny - otherwise they tend to be less active.

    They are like teenage boys.
