I believe this also.

I do want to point out that people in prison, even in solitary confinement, continue to eat and will express their sexuality if given the chance. It's a function of survival and boredom. It's no indication of quality of life.

I do agree though that snake psychology (if you can even call it that) is not anything like human experience. We just don't know what they think or feel about their environment. Since we don't know for sure, then there's really no right or wrong way about this, asssuming the snake's environment is kept clean and their minimum health needs are met.
