Mazikeen progression thread

[Southpaw91]

Mazikeen is looking great, Starscream.

Re branches, I think BPs like branches not so much because they're natural climbers, but because all snakes need things to hang onto...so whether it's a cord (that shouldn't be in their enclosure), a branch, or our
hair (-mine always seems to be fair game, lol), snakes like some "furniture" to grab for traction. They have trouble moving on smooth surfaces & hate the loss of traction, & unless they grow up used to swimming,
that's also the reason they tend to panic if bathed. I'd keep branches low for ball pythons...more along the lines of driftwood...their wider bodies don't lend much to climbing trees the way rat snakes can so easily.

Yeah she has driftwood which she likes to lay on but I am thinking of just putting a dowel or PVC straight across her enclosure like starscream had in her bin enclosure, just to see if she likes it. Her enclosure is an 8" tall bin, so it would be very low to the ground and not much chance of her getting hurt. Good thing, because she is quite a klutz. She is always sliding off of her hides and her wood and her vines. She always looks at me like it's my fault too.
