So I've read in a number of places that placing boas (and probably many other herps) in a cage that is too large for them will cause the animal stress. I don't really think that makes much sense. In the wild, the animal doesn't have any walls... in a sense, the entire planet is it's cage, which (last time I checked) is QUITE large. As long as the animal has plenty of areas to hide in, I can't imagine a large space 'stressing' the animal. (I'm a total n00b, and this is just my opinion) I'd like to know if anybody has any information to support this 'stress' claim.

(Oh and just so you don't think I'm abusive, my BCI is in an appropriately sized cage.)
