Baby acting arboreal--problem?
So I fed my snakes last night and I've just put my small males in AP cages for the first time a couple days ago.
One of them pretty much immediately crawled up into the wiring/mister area and has been hanging out up there. Anyway, he actually fed from up there, grabbing the rat off my tongs and staying wrapped around the stuff the whole time. It was kind of impressive, if nothing else.
But is it an issue that he's wrapped up there trying to digest? The way he's holding on makes his cloacal area look all swollen up and he hasn't pooped for like 2 feeds. Also, he's very close to his RHP up there. Think there are any issues, or should I not stress too much?

I'd personally try and get back on floor. Wouldn't feel comfortable resting in all the cable/wires and so close to the RHP. Impressive that she ate up there for sure.

So I got him down and tightened up the wires, and added more hides and clutter to his enclosure.
And 5 minutes later, he was back up there.
Sigh.
