As far as snakes go Ball Pythons are some of the calmer pet snakes in general to have. And interacting with them while sitting around watching T.V or playing on the computer is perfectly fine. Just make sure that your pet stay in your hands or with in arms reach at all time they can be quick and very easy to loose track of if not paid attention to for even a moment.
