Just do some research and find a breed that is more tolerant of those things and fits your ideas better? I have a corn snake, she's my baby. I have her because I wanted a snake that I could hold all the time. She's tame as a puppy, and I can even touch her head and she doesn't mind. Much different than my head-shy BP. She would be out all day if I'd let her, and she would definitely enjoy having a large enclosure to roam around in.
I really would consider a corn, but I heard they're not one to chill around your neck. I have dogs, so I can't have it escaping. I heard Ball Python's are much slower, and lazy.
