They can climb just like any other snake ,but they mostly live there life on the ground. They arent strong climbers and arboreal really means that they would stay up there all the time which is not the case. They stay on the ground more than they would up in a vine or tree.

If your snake likes to climb on the vines, I’d leave the vine in there for him. Anouk climbed when he was a young snake, but not so much anymore when he is in his cage. If the ground was too cool for him maybe he was trying to get warm. He does like to explore (climbing and going in/under things) when he is out of his cage, however!

yeah i get that all the time i find 2 of my balls always out and about there cage. i find it to be based on the snake plus there mostly active at night its normal. i think its better to give them many unleveled things to keep them busy i try to change it up every 2 to 3 months may it be the layout or the hides
