One of the rat snakes I used to have liked to thread herself thru the belt loops on my jeans...she remembered & faithfully headed there on multiple occasions.
Hey, snakes LEARN their way around in the wild, for places to hide, get water & hunt...we shouldn't be surprised that they learn & recall their human landscapes.
Here's another tip: never lay in a rope hammock with your snakes!

Here is a tip for your tip. Trying to untangle them is futile! Once they are wrapped up if you tap on their tail with your finger tip it encourages them to slither forward. Guide their head away from the object they are tangled in (so they don't continue to get tangled) and continue touching or tapping their tail.

Not related, but if you want to get your snake eating you shouldn't be handling the snake. Handling shouldn't be done until the animal is eating reliably.
How much experience keeping snakes do you have? It seems to me like someone just learning basic handling and who doesn't know to hold off on handling until the animal is eating might not be experienced enough to be thinking about breeding these animals....

Yea I don't have experience doing it with other snakes, but my ETB responds really well to this. You can get her off a perch in an instant with a tickle to the tail.

Oh....ok.
Your post made it seem like you were new to the hobby, first learning how to handle snakes. Generally speaking, most experienced keepers know to hold off on handling when a new animal isn't eating. So I guess I was thrown off.

My first corn snake loved belt loops. And necklaces/lanyards. Any time she was out, she'd find a way to firmly anchor herself wrapped through through one or the other.

Oh yes! Jewelry can actually be dangerous, for anyone that doesn't know. Necklaces for sure, but unless you want to go thru life without earlobes, don't wear hoop earrings around snakes either. It's not as if they're out to get us, they're just looking for traction & "toe-holds". Pay close attention to children handling snakes, as they just don't have the forethought that comes with years of experience. (sadly, some adults don't either)
