    Like others have said, happy ball pythons are hiding ball pythons. If you are wanting a snake that's more active and more of a "display" snake, why don't you rehome your ball python and get a different species. Do your research and figure out what's best for you. Some have suggested Boas but they can get a little big (depending on what kind of boa). I prefer my corn snakes. Most of mine are in racks, but I do have a female corn that I keep in a tank. She's always out and about in the early evening and loves to roam her tank. When I handle my corns, they are VERY interactive and busy. If you don't like snakes that move a whole lot, then corns maybe aren't for you.

    All I can suggest (since there are tons of great snakes to own) is to do your research before you buy. Figure out what works for YOUR lifestyle.

    Ball pythons are indeed pet rocks. I like them because they are so mild, and I can pretty much do anything to them without paying close attention. If you get a more interactive snake, you will need to show a bit more respect to avoid bites.

    As people have said, boas are lots of fun. But if you want a really active snake, I'd go for a colubrid of some sort. Corns, kings, pines, bulls, all active snakes. Or you might be happier with a lizard, like a bearded dragon.
