I should keep my mouth shut but I have to ask all of you a question. If you have ever had a snake excape, where do they go? Do they hang out in the middle of the room or do you see them stretching out on the bed?? I don't know about you but I have had a few Iexcapes and 80.5% of the time they are in the tightest places they can fit into. The only time I had an exception to this was when our taiwan got out and he was high up on the rack trying to get into the rat cage.
If you doubt this let your snake out (in a secured area). put a tight hide on one side and a "comfortable long bed" in the other, where is your snake going to go? I HONESTLY don't know what a big snake will do, but I DO know every ball I have had chooses the tight corner even over a larger space that is warmer.
LOL ok you can bash me. I agree my limited experence is showing.
