    yes, exactly this.

    You can also make an out of enclosure jungle gym for your boa to climb around on if you really want to ensure you are providing something (heck, even some chairs/stools and such work!) for when you have the boa out.
    Will boas make use of shelves/perches? sure! How often they utilize is pretty dependant on the individual snake. I have found the smaller insular species will climb more, I've found younger snakes tend to climb more. Some love it, some really don't care and just want to sit in a warm spot on the floor. In general, I find common boas mostly hanging out on the floor of their caging, so with what I keep, I just provide some out of cage climbing options.

    That's a pretty good idea too, will definitely consider that! Whenever I have my boa out, she tends to just explore around the place, although she does sometimes try to stretch towards my ceiling fan, but regardless it doesn't matter too much.


    I will keep thinking about it, it doesn't matter too much either way at this point I think, it's just hard to pick from two options that are so similar!
