If I fix some really high branches in my boas viv, will it fall off them? I know some boas in the wild never leave trees, feeding on monkeys. But my royal falls off his branch every night, luckily only about half a foot (obviously royals are ground dwellers).
I'm wanting to fix branches about 2-3ft high, will this be okay?

Boas are alot better at climbing that royals, they won't fall but they may make a rather loud thud when climbing down.

Good stuff. Having just disrespected royals ability to climb, I have just put juju on the sofa while cleaning him out. I turned to check on him and he had climbed to the top of the sofa, crossed a gap of about 2 ft to the top of the vacuum, then started to climb down the vacuum. All in the space of about a minute. Do you think he was trying to prove a point?

Fat kids can be athletes too, haha.

My Boa is a superb climber. Best part of 6 feet and she climbs vines no thicker than a shoelace.
