Re: wild-caught snake
Snakes can display "depressed" behaviour, whether or not this is depression in the usual (human) sense, I rather doubt. Illness and stress brought on by environmental issues can cause depressed behaviour. A larger viv might help in deed. I would certainly make sure the enclosure is well furnished with ample hiding opportunities. The snake must feel secure. You might also want to check all the other environmental factors (temperature etc). Good luck.

Re: wild-caught snake
You could also try adding something new and different to the enclosure (an egg box, different water bowl, mirror, etc.) to give her a bit of stimulation. I also think that you'll be more happy with her activity levels in a larger enclosure, but there's nothing wrong with the size you're using now. Whenever you can provide more room, though, you should. Best of luck,
