It certainly would.  I only wish I could get my ball pythons to keep that still

Really?!! I find ball pythons easy models too!! My lot all just sit there, curled up! I find the cornsnakes and other ratsnakes nightmares to try take decent photographs of!!

I find the hard part is getting them not to roll up into a ball where they are hiding there heads/faces.  Some of mine are better then others for photographing as long as they have full bellies and I photography them in the early afternoon it's not as bad.
I have never owned cornsnakes or ratsnakes, but know people who have them and from what I have observed of them they seem much more active so I can just imagine.

They're so smooth! This guy was actually handable, which is uncommon for this species!

Haha green tree pythons definitely wouldn't be recommendable for their temperments! Cornsnakes, royal pythons and burmese pythons (although that one gets very big) are wonderfully tame (and if not, they get tame really quick).

I kinda like ball pythons, what do you know about them?

Royal pythons and ball pythons are the same animal, they are so sweet!! I love them! They're a beginner species of snake, with a good temperment. They can be shy as babies however they curl up into a ball rather than bite (hence the name 'ball' python) and they get used to handling very quickly so get less shy then. They're known for going on hunger strikes though, which can be worrying at times. They stay relatively small. Some people don't like them because they think they're boring as many aren't so active, preferring just to sit there. I really love them though!

I didn't know their the same

Their kinda like bearded dragon in that they don't do very much, but I love my dragon, he's so cuddle-able!

Yup, depends where you live to what they're referred to more, but it's the same animal.

I like bearded dragons too (ok I like a lot of reptiles!  ) but I think lizards have more personality than snakes do. Snakes only have temperaments, I've yet to say I've a snake with personality!

I've not had a lot of contact with snakes, so I can't really say.

But I've seen bearded dragon acting very different from one another, so yeah!
