Question Do they get bored? :hmm:

Takala has now been handled a few times since I got her home a few days ago. I thought from what I had read that it was probably best to handle her quite frequently so she gets used to me/it. She has bitten me twice, and pooped on me once lol. My own fault for not waiting til she had done it in the faunarium I guess?

Today she came out with a little bit of a tail shake but no biting and she seems a lot more chilled when she is being handled. I thought it would be good for her to do a little exploring of the flat, like the carpet and bed (never let out of site of course) and it gave me the chance to take a few pics.

This has started me thinking. Do they get bored? I obviously cant let her go anywhere that she wants because I would loose her, so I am constantly picking her back up and I feel like I am restricting her. Do they move around much in the wild? I know from having the Axolotls that they tend to just sit in one spot and are pretty happy, is that the same with a corn snake?

Basically after all that, is she bored? and if so do any of you have ideas on how I can make her life as enjoyable as I can? If the answer is to leave her be, then fine, I just want to do what I can.
