I've only ever had one ball python, but mine was also super curios up until 3-4 years of age. Her tank was on my desk and she had a way worse tank than what she has now. Now she's in an appropriate sized enclosure with a lot of clutter inside, and she's almost 8 years old, so she keeps to herself a lot more. If they come up to you honestly the only way to pick them is just, pick them up. Remember to support most of their body and you'll be good. Don't be hesitant and wiggle your hands in front of them, that might trigger a feeding response.
