Hybrids

My corns were active only at night till they hit a year old, now they are out day and night climbing, cruising, etc.

Did they have any reason to be active during the day? Did you offer a basking spot?

They have a red heat bulb on 1 side of their tanks. But they each have a vine and they climb on them a lot...if they are in their hides and see us come in the room they come right out and pace the glass...yesterday perri climbed right up to the top and up my arms to rest around my shoulders. They just like interaction and they dont seem to care what time of day or night it is...

I don't think they enjoy/see it as interaction so much as they enjoy/see it as exploring territory they are familiar and comfortable with. They interact with me the same way they would with a tree.

May be true, but they ignore my daughter and husband and only behave this way with me, so I tend to look at it differently. Same w my bp's. They dont come out of a ball for anyone but me...hubby's brb definitely favors him over me, too...so we like the idea that they "like" us regardless of what popular belief is...

Well my corn is about a year, But doesn't particularly like being held because it means she is vulnerable. I do have the red hEat bulb tho. Kal-el comes out sometimes

Yeah probably feels more safer/comfortable around you because of being used to you/your scent. Can't know whether a snake actually "likes" someone or likes the interaction.
