Yeah mine likes to climb, and he's fine with the 17 inches of height he has. I'd imagine as they get older climbing won't be as often. Hey, now there's an excuse to get another snake! Get a smaller cage for your BP and get an arboreal species snake for the current cage! LOL. I'm always looking for an excuse to get more.



I almost wonder if he's climbing so much due to having no secure place to hide, temperatures or because he's hunting and hungry? BPs aren't extremely active - and I wonder if a well fed one is even less so? My guy only comes out for a few hours each night - unless shedding or digesting then he doesn't come out or stays out less. He climbs a bit and then just perches himself on a branch. If it's the night before feeding time he is all over the place.
