My ball pythons are all pretty well behaved. Granted their appetites are fickle, and they prefer mice when they actually feel like eating, but usually go poop in a corner.
However, my male hognose is a pain/hoot to work with when it comes to chow time. He'll fly out of the tub and latch onto anything he can. He's tried to eat the carpet, my boots, socks, jeans, gloves, phone, and anything else that can't fit. Even when he grabs his meal, he'll death roll, eat backwards, fold it in half, slap it on a wall, or even throw it across his tub. Normally, he's curious and kind to be around, never hisses or hoods, but he is a bit of a showman for his food.
