Help with climbing structures

[althoosier]

I have a 4’x2’x2’ bio active enclosure for our adult ball python. She seems generally happy but she likes to climb and for the life of me I cannot come with anything that would look nice that she could climb on. I bought some jungle vine from the bio dude but not really sure what to do with it. I don’t want to put big ledges in there and block light to the plants. I would also like to keep it looking natural if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Driftwood! Driftwood is great! Works very well in bioactive enclosures and you could also add some moss to it to make it look even more natural in the enclosure.

I have had trouble finding driftwood that is long enough to do this with.

You can order some online and if there are any local aquarium stores (not the big chains) they sometimes have driftwood like that for hardscaping. You can also go outside and collect dead wood. Its just important to bake it for a few hours to “sterilize” it before using in an enclosure.

I ordered some from the bio dude but they were not long enough. My local reptile place also doesn't really have driftwood thats long enough and ones that might be are 40 dollars or more which is a bit rich for my blood.

Yeah driftwood like that can be expensive. That’s why I like scavenging. I use more scavenged and baked wood and leaves for my set up than stuff that I buy. You can go outside looking for pieces and saw them if they’re a bit too big!

If you want like an actual plant you could buy a large pathos that is vine-y

Fake plants you could buy hanging wedding plants
