i think the only snakes i have that would come out to see me are the carpet pythons, all of my ball pythons besides the lesser will go back in their hide if their out or make an attempt atleast, and the lesser won't come out, but he doesn't run if hes already out. the small GTP is only coming out to check for food.

so yea id probally never be able to handle my snakes if i didn't grab them out of the hides, besides the carpets which have no problem barreling right out as soon as they realize the door is open.
