Plant, yay or nay
Ok, I just let me new noodle in my tank, and the first thing that happened was my python climbed up on the suction cup plant I have. Should I remove to reduce the risk of her falling?

You can if you want, or just put it closer to the floor of the tank.

I wouldn't remove it. They love to climb on them and these plants are quite robust.
If you're too worried, give her a little a branch she can use to climb the plant. It'll help to keep her stable. You can also offer a few more climbing spots. Maybe then she'll choose not to climb on the plant.
My ball python climbs these plants all the time. Sometimes I hear some rustling at night and then I see him hanging out on top of the plant (40 cm in the air). He has never fallen off. The last time he caught him was only a few days ago. I took a photo of him (if I find it, I'll post it here but it's not the best quality).

Beautiful snake! She's only a baby, I guess I was more concerned the suction cup would release.

Thanks
Yes, I know what you mean since I worried about the same thing when my snake started to climb the plants.
What I was trying to say is that if you give her something else near the plant, not all of her weight will pull on the plant and the suction cup won't come of that easily.
Normally I wouldn't use tape in an enclosure but you can try to use double faced adhesive tape only on the suction cup. It'll also help to carry the small snake. If she's still small, it shouldn't be much of a problem anyway.
Mine is a year old and weighs 550g and even he can climb those plants without a problem

No tape! Use hot glue or silicone to hold suction cup in place. It will be permanent so keep that in mind. I always just put them closer to the ground.
