Are ball pythons even [I]slightly[/I] arboreal?

[Egapal]

In no way was I asking a leading question. I was GENUINELY curious. I am not an idiot.

I should clarify that the reason I consider "Are ball pythons even slightly arboreal?" a leading question is because its phrased in such a way as to make it easy to say yes. You are nearly guaranteed an answer of YES. I also believe that its misdirected question. By that I mean that its not your real question. It conceals a real question of how do I best provide for my BP. I don't in anyway mean to imply that you are an idiot, being intentionally leading or misdirecting. Its just how we are conditioned as people. The problem is that your second question

I''m about to put some baked driftwood branches in Axel's tank, partly for attractiveness, partly for (hopefully) functionality. Will he actually use them?

is entirely unrelated to whether or not BP's are arboreal. So you have a whole punch of people answering your question, but what question are they answering. I tried to answer both. No to the arboreal, yes to the drift wood.
