    Yes, climbing ability in BPs declines quite a bit as they grow, they just aren't built for climbing the way corn snakes are...but you're right that there's no reason they can't
    enjoy it while it lasts. I just wouldn't give them the same height options you can give a corn snake, since falls may not be innocuous...they can cause internal injuries (broken bones, bleeding & abscesses).
