Are BRB Terrestrial or arboreal?

Thanks,
Mike

They are primarily terrestrial, so if you are looking at cages, go with a terrestrial. However, from time to time (more than say like a corn snake) they do climb, so I put branches in all my cages. Most importantly though they do enjoy a good soak, so make sure you give them a water bowl they can fit into.

Mike,
I would describe these snakes as semi-arboreal. In my setup I have about 4 vertical ft. and they use all of it often.

Thanks for the input and for posting the great pic, do yo have anymore?

Mike,
I've got many, many pictures of my BRB's in their enclosure. When I get home I'll post some more climbing shots. With these beautiful snakes, it is fantastic to see them basking on a limb (just another reason why overhead heat source is a great way to go).
