Are you sure about this? In my experience large colubrids will use any space they will get. The Miami zoo has a beautiful enclosure for yellowtail cribos (Drymarchon corais). They use the whole space, up to the highest branches down to the ground and back again. So I think that the Eastern Indigo might enjoy some branches and a little more height as well.
The bigger the enclosure the easier it might be to go really bioactive. When you start you will have to spot clean the enclosure, but with time the amount of necessary maintenance will reduce itself, probably to nil (look for Waynes/Infernalis threads about his monitor enclosure).
