Hi hi :) had my lovely BP girlie for a year now. however i’ve recently noticed her nightly exploration includes her checking all four sides of her enclosure to see if she can climb… evidently she would like some vertical climbing opportunities but im at a loss and looking for any ideas and input! 🫶❤️

like a curtain rod or should it be big enough for the bp to fit in? mine is special and will try to squirm into it if i don’t close it

Put the ends FLUSH with the sides of the tank, he shouldn’t be able to even think about getting inside. They can be any diameter, I did 1.5” because my girls are bigger

perfect ok. she’s a large lady, she’s about 1700g, so i always try to keep an eye on her escapades. i’ll definitely try that out!!!

I bought a ladder meant for birds and hung it horizontally from the top of the enclosure (rungs are spaced apart with more than ample room for my boy to not get stuck) & he LOVES it, he uses it almost every day!
