Possibly a long and boring video, but I personally find a bp's slow and cautious inquisitiveness very cute and interesting.
Snakes do respond and interact with their environment as we know, especially toward things they've never seen before in their enclosure, and even ball pythons do. Cake has always been my most curious, calm, and "outgoing" ball, so he makes a nice example.
He went around licking everything new for almost 10 minutes before he decided he was done and went back into the hide LOL.
Well I've mentioned this before but I have 22 snake viv setups - all with branches , logs and fake foliage .
Anyways every so often I switch pieces of bark and logs around from viv to viv and it gives them all something to think about , sniff and explore ...
