How many of you have something for you ball to climb on? Do they seem to like that?

I used to have branches and things for them to climb on, and they seemed to use them frequently. I would say if they had something to climb on, most likely their gonna use it.

Youngins love to climb, so branches for them are always cool. Adults don't climb much at all. But according to a couple sources I've read: balls in the wild are often found sleeping in small shrubs in the savannah waiting for food. I'd like to see a ball python live in an arboreal enclosure though, just to see it's behavoir.
Their bulky muscles make them good at griping things. I once watched Monty climb 4 feet up a scarf dangling. It was cool.

Most of my cages are simplistic and to the point. I don't have much cage furniture, just the necessities.

i put some fake vines taped up around the cage and Samson climbs all over them, even falls sometimes, but he is a young snake.

My BP uses his 2 branches to climb. He also climbs his hides and when he was smaller used to climb the plastic plants.

My Monty uses his branch alot. He likes to climb up and just lay there for an hour or two.

Ditto to what most said.
i have a branch and vine and plastic plants that stick on the side of the tank and Ozzy spends most of his time out of the hide climbing, very little time on the ground,but he is young.

Mine will climb rocks, but not branches, for whatever that's worth. Maybe the new guy will be a climber.
