I have to agree with you on that...I have a male FWC and he is out and about from sun up till' sundown everyday with the exeption of when he's in shed or just after a meal. Along with being a great display snake he's also my fav in my collection to handle. He's a little a cage aggressive but once he's out he's literally puppy dog tame. I can let him free roam in my living room while keeping an eye on him and he doesn't try to make an escape, crawl in or under the couch or any of the sort. He just cruises around, checks stuff out, and occasionally slithers up into my lap to check in....Awesome snake!!
