By "bioactive" standards and reasonable practices, not so much. Even on a naturalistic enclosure mindset that could be a little small. That could be part of the difference in recommendations.
I'm glad you said that...I have no experience with bioactive enclosures, but I was thinking they might need more room.
Re: Ball python enclosure
I'll post a picture of the enclosure when I get home.
I agree 14 inches is pretty short especially with the 4~ inches of substrate and 2~ inch RHP. Thank you guys! do you think a 6x2x2 would be better?

Oh yeah, Either way I'm going to be scooping her poop and urates. I just enjoy bioactive set-ups. The clean up crew I got aren't big enough for her waste. :D

Maybe? It might depend on where you live- how cold it is & how hard it is to keep enclosure warm enough, as that's almost twice the height- all that air will be hard to heat. I think if you need & want the extra work of 6' x 2', that 18" high would be better, if available, & if you can keep the temps. in the right range.
