Clumsy Snake?

Hermon seems happy and healthy... but I have been noticing more and more since I got him that he is a little clumsy. He will fall off my arm ( I always catch him of course) and just seems to be a little unaware of his body... hes only about 1- 1 1/2 years old, so Maybe its just a age thing.. like a lanky teenage boy that does a lot of growing in a short time? Or it could be a personality thing... maybe hes just clumsy like me? does anyone else have a thought ... or even a clumsy snake of their own?
 
Some of mine hold on to my arm like there is no tomorrow, some would drop on the floor if I wouldn't hold them, it's just 'personality' I think.
 
Same with me. All of my Mouse babies (Anery snake, not rodent), they are dear-lifers. I have to practically use WD-40 to pry them off. These guys were just born last month. I also have a full adult or two (like Lucy) who don't know how to hang on even if they were leaning over the top of a skyscraper. I think part of it is personality and part of it is how their raised.

I'm sure the dear-lifers are more prone to hang on if they weren't allowed to roam through fingers as much or held as much. I like my babies to stay still for a while in my hands because I'm usually trying to take pictures. I think the ones who don't hang on were probably allowed to roam a lot more and are more secure in whether they will fall or not. Just my opinion though.
