I believe that it is good for them to constrict their meals every now and then. If nothing else, it gives them a little exercise. We tend to over feed our captive herps, since they don't have to chase and kill their prey like their wild counterparts.

I also believe it helps them psychologically, but I would never be able to prove that...
