We have had our Children's for about 3 months now. Over the past couple of weeks he doesn't seem to want to go back in his enclosure. If I put his front end on the floor or a branch he'll climb back up my arm without releasing his tail which is usually wrapped around my hand. When he's out he's very contented to just roam up and down arms and around necks etc and never tries to "run away". Is this normal behaviour? Is he just a "people person (snake)"?
Temps etc are all OK!

yeah all my pythons the same (specially the BHP). I guess if I was a python I would much rather be out crawling around and exploring then being cooped up in a box . So don't think there's anything wrong there, typical behaviour.

My Bredli and a few others do that too... but my bredli is not a people snake. Sometimes it's just the better option... back in the confined boring space or out able to climb and try to escape watchful eyes! Mischievous things snakies can be...

my bredli does that, angles back and climbs my arms when I try to put him in. i've found the best thing to do is put his head beside the entrance to a dark hide and he usually goes for it.

its getting harder to get him in the longer he gets!!

My boa is the same way, its so hard to get them back in!  but maybe its just a phase or when snakes like that get older they will be less reluctant go go back in?

Make yourself lower than the cage. Hold the snake below the cage and he should crawl up and in. He is seeing the cage and then you nice, high, long, warm arm and is trying to get higher. Holding them and making yourself lower than the cage should do the trick.
Putting their head in front of a nice dark hidey hole usually works as well.

Won't work! Our enclosure has a lift that lifts off, not a sliding door. But the hidey hole trick works some of the time.
