    Shy BP

    Hi, it might be a stupid question because Bps are known to be lazy but when I handle my 6-7 month BP he doesn't do a whole lot of moving except flick his tongue. He isn't aggressive only bit me once (my fault he was in food mode). I have had him since he was tiny so about 5-6 months maybe. He is handled a couple times a week but still not a lot of movement. Do you think he'll grow out of it or do I have a shy and/or lazy BP? My 2 other snakes (BP and Corn) like to run so maybe I'm not used to a lazy snake. Thanks for your opinions.

    Some are more lazy then others. You say yours is male... I find my females tend to be more lazy then my males, but they are all different. He may or may not grow out of his laziness, I find as they get other they are willing to explore more as they learn to get used to humans, but ball pythons are generally lazy so you may never see him change.
