It very possible to say that BP's in the wild only move when they need to find a new colony of rats/gerbils, and in the meantime do not move very far at all from their hide.
Please check pages 6 & 7 on this document: http://www.stevegorzulapresents.com/...thon_ghana.pdf

Hunters often find BP hides by looking for trails leading into holes, and entries that are 'smooth'... that implies that snakes do move around at night a lot.
