I call them "bean bag snakes", because that's sorta what they remind me of. They just are so relaxed that it can be unnerving because it seems like something is wrong with them; they are alert and curious to their surrounding, but their bodies will just sorta "flop". They do not try to support themselves or hold on to you like a Boa or a Corn or most arboreal species will while being held.

The female in ther pair I had was like that, very noodle like and thats what we ended up calling her. My FWC's and cribos are like that as well.
