I used to have these display cages with plants and decorations. As the Ball Pythons got bigger, they just completely re-arranged everything as soon as they would get hungry and started roaming. I would get up and the cage would look like a natural disaster passed through.
All plants flat as pancakes and even ripped. Hides in different places then they used to be. Decorations moved or pushed over. Water dumped. Mission accomplished..
With my large male I keep it pretty, but simple. He only has 3 things. A large hide that looks natural and nice, but is actually a plastic planter. With a nice rock on top that he likes to put his head on. A big corner shelf, removable (built it) that has one plant hot glued to it. He likes to flatten that plant of course. And a naturalistic looking water bowl. So while his cage looks pretty cool, its easy to clean. You only have to remove those 3 things (and the snake) and then put it back. Plus he can't do much re-arranging, as much as he tries.
