Ball pythons are different than lizards in that no matter how big of a cage you put them in, they will curl up in their favorite corner and stay there.
I say this is false...

You say...

I don't think it's always as false as you say it is.
Ball pythons usually only come out at night, and even then they aren't very likely to 'roam' far from their original spot. From what I've been told on here, excessive roaming = stressed out snake. :]
So you are saying that there Ball Pythons that will find one spot, stay there, and never have the urge to roam, hunt, or find a new spot? Just stay happily coiled in that one spot there entire lives? That would worry me more than a snake becoming active at night to roam. If my sanke was wondering , at random hours of the day, nose rubbing, and not eating, or pooping, I would think that maybe they are stressed by the environment. But I personlly think she is just enjoying her space, as she is eats readilly, and exercises her routine like clockwork, including pooping and shedding. If anything I think that this shows that given the sace, they will make use of it.

How do populations disperse in the wild??? If what you are saying is true, you would find families of BP's in the wild hanging out together in the same general area their entire lives.

and even then they aren't very likely to 'roam' far from their original spot.
= Speculation.

Not trying to lock horns with you blackcrystal, I just think that in a hobby like this we need to be carefull when addressing husbandry issues in "absolutes", Makes it easy to give people the wrong idea. While you did explain yourself, the original statement that I had a problem with(quoted again above), does specifically state "ball pythons", and is not referring to any other kind of snake.
