Apologies for putting another view on things but many keepers have branches in their Royal setups as they will most definitely climb them in the evenings . They will even chill-out in them for a while on occasion and if course climbing is great exercise for them .Originally Posted by The Serpent Merchant
Branches aren't necessary at all. BP's are terrestrial (ground dwelling) snakes and don't climb much, especially as adults. As for shedding BP's can rub against anything in the cage including themselves. All that really matters is that the humidity is high enough.
My BP's are all housed in cages setup like this and I've yet to have a bad shed:
I've even got one Royal , my two year old Pastel who strike feeds from the branches and eats up in them - if he's up there when it's feeding time .
Certainly worth a try as they can simply be removed if needed .
