Ball Pythons are known to prefer smaller spaces. Even enough hides would not help. Space is a big issue to a ball python and the more space you give them the more stressed they become. Even in the wild these snakes find the most cramped spaces to fit themselves into. Giving them too much space even with multiple hides is not giving them what they would atleast prefer and feel more secure with in the wild.
