BP Climbing like a tree python

When ever I gave my ball pythons Little bushes and stuff around water dish and homes they would climb those often and also and sticks put in and I have had a few adults when takin outside they climbed a small near by branchy tree and just to note this tree had branches all the way to the ground and how she was able to get into it in the first place I also believe I took some pictures but not 100% on that I usually don't when I bring them out for natural sun

Check out this "Fancy" Ball Python.

I just had to add it here.

In the second pic it is in its "fancy" pose. I guess it's a Fancy Tree Ball Python.

My BP is Classy, and theirs in Fancy. :rofl:

I believe that most snakes can and do climb. It's all about their needs, whether it be survival for food and escape, or exploring.

When I was a competitor I waterskied daily, even in the winter. I've witnessed hundreds of water snakes in trees. The trees were all overhanging the water which made it ideal for ambush hunting and or basking with easy escape if threatened.

I never thought of a Rattlesnake as a good climber until I saw that one on YouTube climbing a tree to escape that attack rabbit.

Some folks have seen many climbing photos of my Bp, Boas, and Carpets. I tell you what, my 15 year old BP can out climb both of my Boas and give the Carpets a run for their money.

Bottom line is, snakes are very adaptable and will adjust to their environment to meet their needs of food, survival, or just exploring.

Elvira is much better at climbing DOWN than even my Boas and Carpets.

Elvira, 15 yr old Normal that is a climbing fool.

Hi,
I am new to BP so I have no expierence at all. My 2 month baby ball python loves to climb. He likes to spend nights hanging on that tree root in S pose. He used to do more climbing when I first got him. He tried to get in almost everywhere so I put some bamboo sticks for support ;). These days he spends most of the day time in a coco hide and climbs only during a night. I guess he was just looking for best spots in a new environment.
cheers
