    Re: What are the chances of my ball python climbing in her enclosure?

I also have leaves intertwined on the lid of the tank that he crawls around in every night. Not speaking from any level of expertise but probably just depends a bit on the snake and I don't think it would hurt to try.
    Whatever works for you and your snake is fine. Ball pythons do climb in the wild and they do it enough that it's been documented that avian prey can make up a large portion of their diet.......and no ladies, I'm not going to do your research for you - I've passed out the link to that darn study enough over the past few years. Expand your minds and think beyond the plastic tub with the one hide, the water bowl and the flexwatt. Experimenting intelligently is often a good thing for both the owner and the snake.

    Again, if it works for you and more importantly, your snake, go ahead and do it.
