somehow i dont think they just hide all the time and sit around to ambush rhodents.
there is this ball python temple in Benin that a few hundred ball pythons use as a hiding place during the day. and each night they all move out, all of them leave the temple behind and go hunting in the surrounding areas. in the morning they all return. farmers that have ball pythons on their farm say the same thing, they have their hiding place for the day, but at night they are all on the move. some BP breeding farms operate the same way, the pythons need to get their own rhodents, all that the humans do is to provide the right hiding place at the right location and to seperate out and lock up the gravid females for egg laying.
so i dont think they are as sluggish as some of these posts characterize them. they have a hiding place for the day and a hunting area for the night, and they move quite a distance each night, and some exploration has to be involved because they are not born with a hiding place and a hunting ground, they need to figure it out and find the right places.
i dont think they are interested in toys or anything like that, but im sure that when you give a BP more room to roam around it will be appreciated and used by the BP.
