Speaking of "snake toys", one thing I've never tried (yet!) is giving a "Pet Hol-EE Roller dog toy" to a small snake (one that won't get anywhere NEAR stuck in the equal-sized openings) as something to climb in- it might be fun to suspend it also.
Note-they come in various sizes.https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcos...roller-dog-toy
BPs have large heads & wider bodies, so I've never suggested it here before- but for small pythons like Antaresia or rat snakes of all kinds, it would be fine- good exercise, in fact.
BTW, I didn't think this up- I've heard from a friend about others giving these to their small snakes, & it sounds like a fun idea for them. You just have to remember to remove it (give it to a dog or cat to play with) when the snake begins to out-grow it. Cage furnishings for snakes are mostly never "permanent" anyway- just like WE don't keep the same furniture for life either.
Like a jungle gym for snakes...some kinds have more "privacy" too: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcos...otball-dog-toy
BTW, I'd suggest ONLY buying these in person- to double check the size of the HOLES compared to the width of your snake (with a meal on board)- not so much the overall size of the ball, but just to ensure your snake fits EASILY thru the holes. I'd guess only the largest ones would be suitable. Goes without saying that these are only for the snake to climb in- no bouncing or rolling the snake!
