Just a quick point

I can't speak for the snake itself...whether it "likes" natural vs unnatural because they don't have a part of the brian that tells them they "like" anything.
All they know is if they are safe or not in their environment. If they are...they're "happy".
Yes, a naturalistic setup is nice to our eyes...but, the snake doesn't know the difference from natural and unnatural. It was most likely born in an unnatural environment anyway.
The only thing unnatural from a snakes point of view is being picked up by a larger animal without being eaten. Haha.

A natural enclosure offeres a lot more then your average captive enclosure. And by "natural" I mean lots of soil to allow the snake to make its own burrow and gain moister similar to that of a monitor set up. I also provide my snakes with heat options with stacks. Top level around 140 and lower each level. To me my snakes seem much healthier. My corn will take down mice every single day if offered.
