Background Climbing.
So, I woke up this morning and Axel was climbing on the background. It was cute, I don’t think he was really looking for an escape, just climbing. I guess I need to buy an Branch or something. It was like he was sleeping on the background then he slid off and got into his hide.
He seems to like to climb even though ball pythons seem to hide all the time. Lol
So, if I get a branch outta the yard, what do I have to do?
Thank you.

First determine the type of wood it is and if it's safe for ballpythons. Remove and sand down any small pointy twigs.

This branch will be from a water oak tree, is this fine?

Oak is fine. Let it sit inside your house or on a porch for a few weeks then bake it at 250 degrees in an oven for about an hour and it should get rid of most if not all pests.

Can I ask why I have to put it on my porch or house?

Oak is good. Just avoid cedar, pine and redwood. As mentioned earlier make sure to bake it off. Sand down anything that feels pointy and boom you got a climbing/lounging stick.

Okay, but why do I have to keep it in the house or porch?

Not sure exactly why the other person said that. Possible mite concern depending upon your area. It also helps to dry the wood but just bake it longer and you'd be fine. The question is are you picking up dead fall or cutting a branch off the tree. If you cut it off you need to leave it so the resins can seep out.

This tree has fallen by the hurricane, and it looks rooted up, so I am not cutting a branch off, it’ll probably just snap off.

If it snaps you should be fine just baking it for a longer period.
