Each snake is different. They are not arboreal snakes, and usually do a lot of climbing if they aren't feeling secure in their hides. How big are your hides?
I had to take my ball's limbs out because they where always falling off of it. They loved to climb around, but 9 times out of 10 I would hear THUMP. They never learned. It was not very high but I was sure they would hurt themselves.
Escape? or explore? When my snake is out cruising around and I let him out of his enclosure after a while he gladly goes back to his nice warm spot in his hide when i offer it. If he's trying to escape there is likely something wrong with your setup.
