I want to clear something up. Opinions welcome!

I all to often see people chosing out 'active' ball pythons and being happy that their ball python is 'active.' However I have always understoof that this is not a good think. Ball pythons by nature are by nature not very active and nocturnal. During they day they hide, done. Im my opinion an active ball python is a sign of stress or improper husbandry. Am I wrong here? I all to often hear people saying something along the lines of 'my ball python is very active when I'm holding her'. Chances are the snake is trying to get away rather then being 'active'. Please give me your opinion on this.
