how do you how these so called "lazy snakes" act like in the wild? who are you to say that these snakes dont exhibit the exact same behavior in the wild as they would in captivity? ball pythons are a ground dwelling species, and they spend most of the day resting in burrows underground, and only come out at night to hunt and such. I am pretty sure ball pythons do the same thing in their cages, they rest in their hides during the day and slither aorund their cages at night when we are all asleep. Have you ever asked your snake if he thinks he is living his life to the full potential? I bet he would say yes everytime he gobbles down a live mousie or rattie.
