A snake in a smaller enclosure also has less control over its own temperature and thus can not seek out cooler areas to intentionally slow its metabolism - thus requiring more food.

I don't add any heat to my 4 qt tubs in summer. Fall and Winter they have 80F in the daytime, slightly cooler at night. Larger setups I can make a warmer hot side because the snake can get to a cooler area when it doesn't want to be warm.

When the snake spends about equal amount of time on both sides, you probably have a good gradient for it.
