You can set up a cage the way you want to set it up as long as the animal's basic needs are met.
There is nothing "Cute or badass" about a cage to your snake. Reptiles don't care what our interpretation of their natural environment is. I prefer naturalistic caging (my interpretation) that provides my animals certain options, but the decor and overall look of the housing is for my benefit.
I do feel offering climbing options can allow exercise opportunities that a snake won't get if you only offer a flat and sterile environment.
Every species I keep here is semi arboreal, however even the Royal python cage (top right) has perches and they are used from time to time.
If you have the husbandry set up correctly, you are open to experiment with different decor.
Find out what you like and make sure the snake ins't stressed by the changes. Some things may actually enrich the animal's life and some changes may only make your display look nicer to you and others.
Have fun and good luck.
