I can't really say it isn't. Although, if the snake is proven to live in these conditions and thrive for multiple years, reproduce, and die at an age older than the wild, but equally as long if not longer than animals kept in other enclosures, than how is it a confirmation bias? There have never been any studies saying snakes have any sort of rational thinking ability, and thus only operate on instinct alone. If you meet those basic needs who's to say the snake is suffering more in the smaller cage?

After watching all sorts of problems/malfunctions/bad husbandry that lead to the snakes accidental death; I'll stick with my uniform rack that has never failed me and given me awesome snakes as healthy, if not healthier than any custom enclosure snakes.
