I'm trying to help a friend identify what snake might be a good pet. At this point she's very interested in a Corn, Trans-pecos, Baird's, or a Children's python. She would like a snake that is at least somewhat active during the day. I've never kept a suboc (though it is surely tempting) and I know they are mainly nocturnal but may be visible on their branches during the day.

I think a snake that's active from sunset onward would be fine; she is just trying to avoid species that are deeply nocturnal.

Some of my supposedly nocturnal snakes have definitely adjusted their activity schedules in captivity to at least somewhat parallel the times when I'm active, so I wasn't sure if the rat snakes did this as well?

I'm looking forward to replies from Bogertophis <3 and others who have experience with these beauties.
