Some of mine climb, some don't. My ones that do climb, are not generally good at getting back down in a graceful fashion. They are however excellent at plopping awkwardly to the ground.
You can certainly try the basking shelf, it's not going to hurt anything as long as she can't burn herself on the lamp.

BPs hate screen-top cages? o-o I put a towel over 90% of the screen, does that help? my snakes have branches and rocks to slither over... my female has a plastic branch suctioned to the wall of her tank, she used climb on it but rarely does anymore. Their favorite thing to do is do from the hot to the cold side, back and forth... lol. Most of the time they sleep on the hot side (in their hides) because I have a slight temp drop at night but keep the under-tank heaters on.

LOL, this happened to me too! I put the rat on the top to thaw in a bowl and when I went to find her she was gone! I was so scared, I couldn't figure how she could get out, but she wasn't under any of her hides. Then I found her all up in the hanging "decorative" vines, she was quite well hidden!
OP - I'm not sure if she will bask, as I understand it, they are more accustomed to belly heat since they are nocturnal (or crepuscular? I'm not sure) and go out and warm themselves on warm surfaces at night, but don't really get intense overhead heat. I could be wrong though, I'm not up and up on the latest studies

Depends on who you talk to.
My advice would be to listen to your snake. If she eats well, poops well, climbs, doesn't climb and seems as happy as any snake can be, then don't worry what anyone else says.

I don't like to cause a lot of times they tend to strike at whatever comes in their enclosure. If yours doesn't, that's awesome.

Re: What are the chances of my ball python climbing in her enclosure?
SHe won't bask as bps don't usually but if she is a young snake she may climb up and be adventurous but older snakes will just ignore it.
Hope this helps. if it does plz thank

Mine will lay out and still climb and explore. Maybe you just have not seen yours do it.

Ball pythons are primarily ground dwellers, but do occasionally climb a small bush or something.
You could put a branch or two in the cage, but not to many. They can climb, but are not the most nimble of climbers. She may climb and she may not.
