Re: Small collection of balls.
Nothing wrong with a big viv for a ball - height is good too. They are semi-arboreal in the wild, particularly males.
Of course a big viv needs plenty of hidey spots but size itself is not in any way an issue for a small snake whatsoever.
Clearly if the snake shows signs of injury then the previous care was poor in general so good job in giving it a new home but don't skimp on space for him.
I have the plans for what a very experienced herpetologist (30+ years research in to snakes and lizards) considers to be the ideal ball enclosure - I'll grab a copy of it and post it up.
