    Another study I read, and I have posted about this before but I cannot remember the link, tested the gut contents of wild balls through forced regurge. Females had 100% rodent. Males had rodent and avian.

    Healthy adult males and females have different body types. My big girls are not climbers. The males are far more capable if they ever had the need.

    Mine are kept in tubs so there are no climbing opportunities presented. I do have have them all out a couple times a week. With very few exceptions they are all content just to lay where ever I put them. When they do decide to go on a "walk" it is almost always down, not up.

    I found a photo of my male hunting a live rat while hanging to a branch in an upside down position like an arboreal snake
