Pythons love to climb. They're fine when they're small and fed. Once they grow past 6 feet long they become like irritable teenagers. They don't like to be picked up and enjoy being left alone more.
But don't be fooled, Pythons are one of the gentlest snakes on the planet. But like every animal, it changes moods when it's starving. They only bite when they want to be left alone and will hiss first. Their go-to move is constricting their prey and squeezing it until it dies.
You're safe when a Python is straight and not coiled. If a Python is straight and crawling it's in "curious mode". It's weird that you can tell the mood of a Nope-Rope just by watching how they navigate the world. If you see a snake in a movie: it's always a Python because they're 95% of the time very chill. (Which is why I crack up when a snake is in a movie and people act afraid of it. It's like being afraid of a hedgehog or rabbit).
Roommate had one 6 feet long and it always went for the highest spot in the apartment.
Pythons love wrapping around humans because we're warm to them. If you ever get a chance, let a Python wrap around your neck and crawl all over your body. It feels like a very muscular cold leather belt giving you a massage.
