But people keep advisign me to put him in a small container. Why?

Even though you have a 4ft tank to put him in, and in the wild they have lots of room to explore you say. Well this is quite a common question
.
In the wild a hatchling snake will usually hide itself under a log, rock, can, bark etc where it feels protected from predators. It then stays there for long periods of time and collects it's prey as it wanders past his hide. This is what you have to simulate in captivity, hence Hazzards excellent advise and mention of a Chinese container set up.
I to this day still use this principle for all my hatchies. Once your little fella feels comfortable and safe in its new surrounding then it should begin to eat fine.
Here is an example I just took for you. This tub set up minus heat mat owes me $4. It is a plastic chinese conatiner from GO-LO ($2 for a 3pk)
Best of Luck and please listen to our advise. We are only trying to help.
Cheers
