You can add loads of branches in there !!!
Have them crossing over / intermingled.
They can be pulled out easily enough when you need to clean up and then put them back in different places each time

I'll add to this thought: My snakes are mostly all climbers (rat snakes, etc) so what I do is install long branches diagonally, corner to corner (one high, one low), with another going the other way, corner to corner, so they cross in the middle- most snakes like that as there's more to hang onto. Branches for a BP shouldn't be so high up, & having them interlock in the middle adds stability.

I have two limbs that cross in the middle and one that runs low to high along the back wall. I purposefully kept the branches away from my RHP, so my snake doesn't get too close to it.

I get a kick out of seeing my snakes lounging on their branches, & they come up with new ways all the time, especially since I usually provide more than just 2 branches. Some kinds of snakes seem to feel safer when up in branches, or may prefer the vantage point to pounce on clueless prey below them. Then too, some snakes may also be after birds & eggs in the trees. And I think branches offer a work-out for their muscles & balance too- plus they make the most of the space available- like a second story in a human home.
