Ball python climbing to the top of the enclosure?

[Bogertophis]

Yeah, the coat rack is an arboreal station. I would never have put my BP on that. He liked to climb, but he wasn't very good at it. He would have killed himself.

I also agree that you should be careful allowing your snake to free roam. I never had a problem with my BP. He was big, slow and not very active. I recently stopped allowing my Children's python to free roam for just the reason Boger raised above. He is small, still relatively slow, but much more active. I kept losing or almost losing him. For his safety and my sanity, his activity sessions are now confined to the stations.

Even the "slow" snakes can fake you out though.
