I read this from an article. She says it just chills on her neck.
Eh....not the best advice in that article I would say IMO. Balls can stress easily (not all of them, it depends on the individual) but a stressed snake can lead to not eating for you and other problems probably not best for a beginner. I would not recommend taking your ball here, there, everywhere because not everyone in the public will take kindly to being around a snake. There's just too much fear and ignorance around and taking a snake out in the public in a non-educational presentation setting will do more harm than good for our hobby.

Hanging with your snake around your house though is totally okay but I recommend doing so in moderation for the stress factor. Just make sure it doesn't fall off, balls are quite clumsy. I, too, would recommend looking into another species. Boas came to mind but they will need much more room once adults (IMO larger than your 60 gallon) depending on the boa species.
