you can try and say that in nature they have very large roaming areas and it would be impossible to create a cage that is too large in captivity,but you must remember that they are not in the wild and if you are successfull and do actually create an evironment that duplicates their native indonesia,then you also must live with the fact that you have also duplicated their extremely high mortality rate.i think its safe to assume that in the wild,over 75 percent of neonates do not see their first year and if this was true in captivity,there would be a lot of unhappy chondro keepers.the small cages,if nothing else,allows you to monitor your small,fragile snake with much more ease and problems are easier to spot and correct.smaller cages also help with stress by allowing the neonate to feel secure,safe and closed in.you could also provide this in a large cage with tons of hides,foliage,and other places to allow your snake to remain unseen but then we are back to not being able to keep an eye on your snake and checking daily for problems.listen to all the advise that was given to you.it was all good and your snake will thank you.
