    I like your set up! I remember reading a book about keeping snakes in more natural type set ups (I think it was titled "The Art of Keeping Snakes") and how the author observed his snakes displaying a range of behaviors that he never saw in basic set ups. So I'm sure Clyde appreciates all that you've done. :) I know a couple of my BP's love to crawl up and around on things at night, as evidenced by their re-arranging of stuff every morning.

    I would also agree with those who say to try and get that last piece of shed on his tail off. I do have personal experience with a tail tip getting amputated by stuck sheds. It happens over several sheds, the old sheds start building up and as the snake grows it ends up cutting off circulation. Easier to get it off when it's only one layer, just use some mineral oil.

    And before anything thinks I'm abusive to my snakes, this happened a ball python that I took in for a co-worker whose 12 year old son got tired of caring for him. I didn't sit there watching the sheds build up to see what would happen!

    Just an update, Clyde finally got his tail piece off. Minot sure how, but sometime during the night he got it off. I was gonna intervene today but when I went downstairs with the mineral oil and rag, he already had it off.
