enclosure size influence growth rate?

does the size of the enclosure influence growth rate of the snake, or is it just the feeding/eating?

IMHO a too small enclosure can negatively affect the health of a snake thereby slowing growth. With proper feeding and husbandry (temps/humidity/cleaning) a BRB will grow no matter what size enclosure it's in.
