the 8x4 foot for a 10 foot snake is a bit cramped really and 2 foot high is sub-standard really........and the reason it doesn't move is do to a few things, one is the ground area is a little cramped, two it needs highth with branches and limbs to climb on, three they are more active at night.....

so what I'm trying to say is they need a huge encolsure to be healthy and normal, one like your friends will do, but its not what it should be..........

now for a snake that is say 5 foot that would be good except for the highth it should be higher.............
