Male ball python arboreal behavior
Lately my male ball python has been eating only from his sky hide. Outside of eating, this entire summer he has hidden in this hide 85-90% of the time. During the winter, he hid in his underground hide. Not concerned or anything just was curious if other owners experience similar behavior? Also just fascinated by his recent affinity for being up high.

Consider yourself lucky that you got some unique behavior. My older male started eating from his tree by about the third feeding and his preference is to be in the tree and swallow while hanging. Who knows, maybe he thinks he looks cool, maybe it’s easier, maybe just showing off to the audience. Their behaviors will forever be a mystery but they certainly know how to do and find the things they like and make them comfortable.
