What is an active, interesting beginner's snake?

I have a ball python and she's great and all, but literally i just never see her. I feed her once every two weeks and she eats and then goes into her hide hut and stays for the entire two weeks until it's food time again, then she pokes her head out and waits for the mouse (which I dangle on tongs, it's frozen/thawed) She doesn't do ANYTHING else. I keep her in my closet because it's the warmest spot in the house and her temps and humidity stay very nice, but she's just extremely boring. I want a snake I can build a beautiful terrarium for with a natural scene and stuff, but for her it just doesn't seem worth it because she would never see it. She has two hides and a water bowl and that's all.
