If your dissapointed your ball python is a pet rock, you didnt research the species at all. In their tank, they will stay coiled up in their hide almost all of the time, only coming out occasionally at night and when they know they are being fed. Once you take them out(hands on) they can be very active snakes.
I used to have a milksnake that was more active in and out of cage. They still stay small and tend to be very docile easy-going snakes. They might be a good option if your curious about a more active snake. I like kingsnakes and they are similar to milksnakes, but can be more aggressive.
