    I know what you mean Brandon - I almost can't wait for my kings to get older/bigger so I can let them explore without being scared they'll take off on me. Right now my bp is the only one that goes outside and he also gets to explore my room a bit and is allowed on the living room floor. Last weekend I let me late 2002 corn on the floor in my boyfriends computer room (it's a small amount of floor space and he has little furniture and no spots for snakes to hide) to see how he'd do. But for now my kings just get to zigzag through my fingers and go up my arms, etc.

    Maybe put the sheet down and make some kind of barriers and/or hides for him to go into if he wants - rather than a giant wide open space. Might make him feel more comfortable, and give you an idea as to how well he does and how fast/slow he is in a smaller area.

    I dunno. Maybe if you have a spare cardboard box that's a good size, you could cut the bottom out of it, and then cut out a side that would face you. Then you could sit on your bed and have the box on the bed, with the open part facing you. That way there's a decent amount of open space, but he can't really take off on you unless he jumps a cardboard box side real fast.
    Or if you have a lot of pillows on your bed like me, you could just stack some pillows on the edges and make a little barrier that way.
    Other than that, I dunno. :)

    Why would you want to make barriers?

    He's afraid snakey will see freedom and make a run...er, slither for it. :)
    I myself don't think you'll need to worry about that though. Unless you have an unusually hyper and squirmy bp, he should be calm and just explore a bit. You'll probably get this barrier up and everything, watching him like a hawk, then you'll put him down, and he'll slowly check things out. Then you'll feel silly for worrying so much. But hey, better safe than sorry I guess. If you really think he's gonna take off on you super fast where you won't be able to grab him, then go the barrier way if you wish. ;)

    Ball Pythons aren't as quick as you would think.
    Just sit him down next to you.
    He'll probably balled up for a good 10 minutes.
    Always watch your snake, you should be find without barriers.
