you gotta remember these are captive animals. in the wild they dont go into trees becuase the mice ect, aka thier food is on the ground

in captivity, they learn that they dont need to be on the ground, and they dont need to even move to get food, it comes to them, usually the same day ever 7 days or every 10 - 14 days

So treating snakes like they are in the wild is kinda stupid in captivity....


Just my
Right totally agree. we should see if parrots can adapt to aquatic set ups. Why would we want to mimic anything natural? - - - Lol Just Kidding

You are right, in captivity these animals don't have to do anything at all. and if it likes to climb, climb away! But you would figure that all the folks who have been doing this for a lot of years would have arboreal cages if that was what ideal conditions would be for the snakes in captivity.

I didn't say to change anything. If the snake is healthy, eats well and seems happy, its fine. The cage is above and beyond good enough. It has more than enough floor space, and it has room to climb since this guy likes to. The OP has a good looking snake and a nice set up.
