ball python sight and hearing.

[Marla]

kinda off topic

Quite an understatement there.

all animals show body language.. i like trying to figure out what is possibly going on inside of their tiny heads.

I agree. I was explaining Smulkin's statement for Jason, not assessing your post. Animals do generally have non-verbal communication that can be interpreted to some degree if studied. I don't think there's any question of that. But if someone tells me that his/her ball python prefers a certain bedspread or something, I'm going to guess it's a case of anthropomorphizing the animal. Trying to figure out what/how they hear and whether a response is triggered by vision, temperature, vibration, or other input is not anthropomorphizing, but the interpretation can be.
