It's something I've been curious about ever since my BP transferred from his old tank setup to his new (temporary) tub one. I have to imagine they are to some degree since they still see the same person, the distance and time to change enclosures is usually very quick, and the familiar tastes/smells of the area are the same unless it's a drastically different section of the building, and even then there's still the familiarity of their owner's scent. Probably familiar sights when they're handled around the home too but I'm not sure how important visual landmarks are to snakes compared to scent.

I know my BP settled down very quickly after the change. One evening rendezvous and it was back to old habits (i.e., doing nothing 90% of the time ). Then again the location for his new enclosure is quite literally 5 feet away from his previous one so it's hard to say if things would be any different if he were moved, say, on the main or second floor of the house.
