20 gallons for a 100 grams snake and for a first time owner that will not be able to recognize signs of stress and other issues is a bad idea plain and simple.
When givving advice it's not about what I do or what I like, it's about recommending what is known to work (and is pretty much foolproof) especially with new owner until they gain the necessary experience.
