My ball python makes me feel guilty
So I fed my little Crowley last night and after I put him back he just kept begging to come back out. I don't let him back out for 48 hours after feeding him, it's always been like that but some days he doesn't go to bed like he usually does. He's just so adorable when he asks to come back out, he'll go up to where the door normally opens and just wait there till I notice him and once I do he starts to strafe back and forth, sometimes he'll even climb the glass and point at the lock, which might just be his strafing action making it look like that but I like to think he points at the lock. Then he insist on climbing into his branches and go up to the glass from there like he's saying "look I'm fine I can come out and play". Now tonight he's doing the same thing, I normally take him out daily, or at least the days he asks to come out, so forcing him to stay in his enclosure makes me feel bad/guilty even though he's got a huge tank and lots to do in there. I was just wondering if anyone has the same feelings I do when having to leave a begging snake alone or do I just love my little guy too much? I know it's for his own good as I don't want to pick him up and upset his digesting stomach. Just thought I'd share my story and see if anyone else feels guilty like I do when you want to take your snake out but just can't.
This first picture I took just now, it ended up really blurry though but he's asking nicely to come out

This second picture I took last night shortly after feeding him, he went in his branches acting like he didn't even eat. (yes if you look at the reflection I am watching Star Trek TNG)

This last picture I took years ago but it really shows what he does even right after eating, one time he was all over the place in his enclosure then slept for the 2 following days after. I think he got an upset stomach and learned his lesson because he didn't do it for a while after.
