Who says bps don't like to climb...

I have seen a lot of posts that saying that its futile to put climbing branches in a bp enclosure but both of mine love to climb on them... I think :P

My spider wakes up every night and sits on her branch till morning....

They fall, not sure that they "LIKE" it! ;)

Each snake is different. They are not arboreal snakes, and usually do a lot of climbing if they aren't feeling secure in their hides. How big are your hides?

I had to take my ball's limbs out because they where always falling off of it. They loved to climb around, but 9 times out of 10 I would hear THUMP. They never learned. It was not very high but I was sure they would hurt themselves.

Wow dude, that is an awesome looking snake!

climbing is their way of trying to escape.

This is NOT a smart ass answer, I am a reptile beginner :) How do you know that climbing is there way of escaping? Just curious. Thanks!

I agree with Robin and Raul. But maybe in this case the spider trait is a little stronger than usual:rolleyes: Outstanding example of a spider by the way!:gj:

Escape? or explore? When my snake is out cruising around and I let him out of his enclosure after a while he gladly goes back to his nice warm spot in his hide when i offer it. If he's trying to escape there is likely something wrong with your setup.
