I have a small tree in my Texas rat snake's cage and he spends probably 25% of his time perched in the branches, basking under the light. They are of course notorious climbers in the wild, often found on tops of fences, in rain gutters, entwined in trellises, and of cuorse up in trees, especially in the spring to raid birds' nests. I would think the black ad Texas rats are more eager to climb than, say, yellow or gray rat snakes, since their habitat is more woody.
