Yes but im saying how do you know that a large enclosure will stress out the snake and why. I read what your saying but your saying that with what proof. It doesn't make any sense at all to me that a ball would stress out in a bigger environment. How do you know that a ball will stress out in a bigger environment. Is this common knowledge that someone started and everyone just spits out when the topic arises or have you tested it and have an actual reason. Are you just repeating what was told to you when you first started or are you making an actual knowledgeable statement. The way I see it is: if the husbandry is right and the snake is being properly treated for then why not? and yes it may be a small sliver of the world they cover in the wild but they definitely cover bigger than a 100 gal tank worth of space.

Baby snakes in the wild don't have enclosures. So why does a bigger enclosure cause them not to eat and how do you specifically know?
same question for adult snakes as above. How do you know that its bad for a snake? and if nobody knows and is spewing unchecked or untested "knowledge" then why should anyone speak against it except for its easier for a beginner to keep the husbandry right in a smaller enclosure.
