My normal ball loves to be out but gets into all kinds of stuff if you're not watching her - behind the TV (tangled around the wires), got herself stuck in the handle of a mug a couple of weeks ago (didn't see that coming and it was hard to get her to back out!), had to dig her out of my rocker/recliner as she had gotten half of her body down between the armrest and seat (again a real tricky process to reverse) and then one night she wrapped on our wrought iron handrail on our stairs so tight that it took me minutes to free her (my first experience with her). Have to watch her constantly! My boa mostly stays attached, in some manner, to me, usually by his tail. Not nearly as adventurous but he is getting better all the time. They are amazingly strong and I can see the day coming that I won't be able to allow the boa to hang around my neck!
