Yeah, hides are hit or miss and all about individual snakes. Just like cage size CAN be correlated to individuals versus the idea as a whole. But these people who claim they need rooms - well that's nice to look at, and sounds good on paper to places like PETA maybe, but in actuality its just not a needed thing - and can be a bad thing.
I've seen people put 10' snakes in a 6x3x2 and it refuses to eat and has aggression. They moved it back to a 4x2x2 no aggression and pounds food normally.
I have a 8' Jampea Goldenchild in a 6x3x2 and he does absolutely fine eating, pooping, shedding, no increased aggression.
