Great pic! Ball pythons are actually quite arboreal if given the opportunity. Our local zoo has had a trio together for as long as I can remember (25+ years) and every time I've been there to see them, at least 2 are 3' or more off the ground in a tree. I placed a group of mine in a newly built chondro cage last fall and they all took to the perches. Interesting stuff. Again great looking animal and pic.
