    BP's are mainly ground dwelling snakes. When they are young they are more likely to climb, but generally they won't utilize the extra height. I have both 2' and 1' tall cages. I keep by BP's in 1 foot cages since they didn't utilize the 2' cages.

    Mine only climbs when it's feeding time, and she's trying to find that rat! Bahaha!!!

    I do. I don't really see much of an advantage to feeding outside the enclosure. I know some will disagree, and I guess it's a personal thing.

    Ball pythons don't really bask...they live most of their lives out in tiny holes in the ground.

    She might go up there on occasion, but BP's spend 99% of their time in their hide.


    Feeding in the cage is really best, you are actually more likely to get bit feeding in a separate container

    She may. You can try it out and see if she likes it. She may also like curling around it or hiding behind it.
