Well first of all OP, you can't tell people not to post. It's the internet. Just because you start a thread, doesn't mean you can control who posts on it. Everybody is welcome to posting and their opinions/answers.
Secondly, you aren't going to find many with "large cage experience" here, because nobody does it. Because it typically is not the optimal housing situation for a ball python. If you want to talk to someone with experience throwing a baby ball into a 50 gallon tank, just go ask Petco. I'm sure they know.
