I'll have to say that it really depends on the snake. I have BP's that will stay in one spot and not move, then I have ones that don't stay still and zoom off in a blink of an eye. My corn snake on the other hand is very mellow and rather just wrap around my neck and hang out while I sit at my computer, do dishes... or take my dog. Some corns, specially young ones do tend to be a bit hyper.
