I personally wouldn't let them climb or give them anything to climb, but that's just me.

Just about all snakes climb to a degree and there's nothing wrong with allowing yours to do so. Some are better at it because they do more climbing than others. Therefore those muscles are stronger and they have better control over them. Most people keep their bps in tubs with out perches or anything to climb, so what do you think will happen when they finally get the chance to do so? They might make it up the first time or even a few times but eventually the muscles being used to hold on will tire out, and they fall.
Their muscles are not much different (other than structure) than any other muscles including ours, they function the same way. As they grow their weight affects that, use it or lose it. So if they're not able to climb or practice holding their body weight on a limb then their less likely to do it as well or even hold on as long as a snake that does.
Like trying to handle a wild snake over a pet, if both put up a fight which one do you think would be stronger?
