My name's Robin, btw. See down my signature down there?
It will be your snake, feed it how you choose. I'm just wondering why you are so against a weekly feeding? All my adults feed weekly.
"Im a student so I need something that's low maintenance and cheap to feed"
I am a student too. It is not expensive to feed these animals once a week. I have 5 ball python, a rainbow boa and two crested geckos and I only spend $50 on rats every 1-2 months.
If you put an adult ball python in that setup, I can almost guarantee that it will feel insecure and not eat, or never leave the ground. These are not tree snakes. Providing them with a tree to climb in is like putting a cat in a turtles enclosure. It just doesn't suit this species needs.
If you want to put a ball python in that, go for it. But chances are you are going to have more problems and have to spend more money to fix it so your snake eats. Or even better you will have to pay for vet bills when your snake falls and hurts itself on the rocks. Nothing you can put in there will help them climb better. They are not built for climbing. You can't change their physical body structure to fit an enclosure that is "perfect for you". This is not perfect for a ball python. Another species of arboreal snake or lizard? sure! But not a ground dwelling, secretive, hiding ball python.
