Snakes feel more secure in tight spaces. Like humans in a fetal position, a snake coiled is in it's fetal position. That's when they feel the most comfortable and secure.

I've moved juvenile chondros from 15 qt. tubs to slightly larger enclosures and quite often they will get stressed and stop feeding. Same thing happened with a few of my balls pythons. I had my 800 gram pieds in 15 qt. tubs and decided to try to move them into 32 qt. tubs. They stopped feeding for about 4-5 months.

Do what works for your animals and don't listen to people that THINK they know what the animals need. Listen to the people on this forum. There are many ways we can all learn from each other.
