I have AP cages with the shelves installed and I love them. I really wish I could get some help with better decorating them though. Mine are pretty basic. I LOVE Gio's enclosures and yours looks and sounds like it's going to turn out really well too OP. I just don't have that talent for interior design.
As far as scrubs being arboreal, my male is about 50/50. He usually hides during the day and will rest on his perch most nights. Some nights he'll keep his entire body in his hide with just his head out. He's also not overly active. He really only moves around when he's hungry. His behavior reminds me a lot of my carpets. Most of them just sit out in the open perched and waiting for food. They very rarely roam their enclosures. My coastal carpet and olive python are the two most active pythons that I keep.
His temperament seems similar to that of some retics I've heard about. He's pretty cage defensive but he mellows out quickly once you get him out of his enclosure. I use gloves and a hook every time I take him out and I rarely take him out if he's perched inside his enclosure. He's very quick to strike if you get too close to him, and if he's out and about in his viv that's just a fight waiting to happen so I try to pick my battles wisely.
