"They are not good climbers"...

Ball pythons are actually very good climbers but like he said u dont want a fatty bp climbing :P I dont know why people say that.

Yeah, my baby BP always seems to be up in a vine rather than in his hide. He seems like a pretty graceful climber as I have yet to see him fall.

I put a grapevine branch in my tank last week, and my BP has been out climbing on it every night since.

BTW: he weighs in at over 500g.

Mine can climb, but it seems she has trouble maintaining once she gets up to where she's headed. She has taken a minor tumble getting down from the futon and just tried to take a header off the computer desk she just climbed. Climbing just got banned in this house.:(

my baby ball would wedge himself in the little gap in the top of his tank and then he'd end up falling. i was afraid he was going to get hurt even though it was a small drop so we made a little wood frame so he can't anymore.

Alice climbs all over the place every night. His tank is full of fake plants in all corners and hanging from the glass on all sides. He gets in the weirdest positions and makes a lot of noise. If he falls, he doesn't have far to go or anything sharp to land on. However, I have gotten up to find all the paper towels and newspaper (my double-decker choice for substrate) soaked and can only assume he took a "dive" into his water bowl!

He weighs 752 grams...getting heavier and heavier. I'm interested to see if this activity decreases as his size increases.

i had a normal that would find a way to climb up and hang from his thermom that was way up at the top of the cage, never figured out how he did it either
