The Ball has a 6" flowerpot in the tank for a hiding place. I have the flowerpot sitting on it's open end, with an access hole chipped into one side of the lip, thereby providing something like 300-330 degrees of solid side around, with the one entrance to "watch". At the advice of a friend that has raised many snakes in his day, I may trade that off for the "saucer" from a flowerpot, similarly chipped for an opening, as my friend pointed out that the snakes like to feel the solid "roof" over them as well as the solid sides.
I would think that the size of the tank would not need to be as compact, as long as the snake has someplace where he can hide and feel secure. After all, they've been living quite successfully in the wide open spaces of nature for untold millenia, seeking out tight spaces to hide in when they desire.
