Respectfully, Because what works for you.. may not always be what is most comfortable for the snake. You said above
"For me, at least for now, all my adults are thriving in them, and I don't think they are too cramped." How do you know that your snakes aren't waking up while your in bed and hating life cause they have nowhere to explore? Not saying they are... I'm just pointing out that because "you don't think" they are cramped doesn't mean they aren't. They will never be able to tell you which they prefer. IMO we should eliminate the guesswork, and give the snake an environment where it could make choices as if in the wild. Eating Pooping and shedding are all great indicators for physical health. The ability to access the options I speak of may or may not play a big enough roll in the mental health of the snake to effect it's physical health, but IMO this does not mean that we should disregard that naturally the snakes are allowed these options.
