My question is, are all Morelia spp. arboreal? Do some climb more than others (aside from the obvious like GTPs spend most time in trees) but say, between a bredli, an MD, a coastal etc... Do any of them like trees more than others? I can't really imagine a big Bredli up a tree..

Coastals i think prefer climbing more than the others. But they all will climb when given the chance.

bredli are commonly found in river gums in the wild, the are quite arboreal.

i find my that my diamond rarely comes down from his branches, but again i guess it depends on the individual.

My bredli mostly sits on his basking platform or in the cave underneath, from time to time he uses his stick but not half as often as i expected,...

All Morelia are at least semi arboreal, of the Spilota group I would say Diamonds are the most arboreal.
