    Rocky's actually managed to get his entire body (curled up in a ball) perched up on that little suction cup/wire. I was pretty impressed at the things he's been able to do, it was kinda weird but impressive none the less. He goes none stop for most of the night. I've been getting up at 5:30 and he's still climbing/crawling then. Usually he goes back in his hide when he hears/sees me though.

    Climbing is perfectly normal. Most people keeps their BPs in tubs so there isn't anything to climb on. My oldest ones are still in wood/glass enclosures with branches to climb on. They take advantage of the branches all the time. I say as long as your temps are right, along with the other husbandry requirments, its a sign of a healthy snake. I'd be more worried if he didn't explore.

    Wow :O that driftwood is no joke, strong stuff. After many failed attmepts I was able to break some of it. I placed one decent sized piece in each of his hides. There's still a little extra space, but it definetly tighter. He just ate like a champ(as always), and proceeded to move into his warm hide with his new furniture. Seems to like it.

    Im with Jason on this one... this weekend I'm building custom enclosures for my bigger snakes cause they do just that... explore all over their tubs at night. With 2 hides, a water dish, and something to climb on space is very VERY limited... With the new enclosures (4x2x1.5) Ill have room to put more stuff for them to climb on and bigger hides down the road when necessary. I say offer them something to climb on and let them choose whether or not they want to use it... Mine always choose to :)

    I do have a stick which I sterilized and have had in there. He uses that also, but he seems to like the suction cup/wire the best. Once I get a larger tank either 20 or 30gallon I'm definetly going to get him a little jungle gym to play on.
