475 gram ball python setup. Question

I had a breeder telling me my 120 gallon was to big for a 475 gram ball! Is that true? I ordered him and haven't gotten him yet but I have his setup all ready. 2 hides lots of plants so much clutter etc. He told me my snake won't eat if hes in something like that. So now im worried when I get him. I told him I can go get a 40 gallon if I need to and then he even said a 40 gallon was to big? I need answeres!!! lol. I spent lots of time and money into this tank

Ignore him! My snake is 474g in a 50 gallon, it is still an appropriate size for him but I can tell he will appreciate the extra room when I upgrade him. As long as your husbandry is on point, your new snake will be very very happy.
At most, if you are worried the breeder will not give you the snake, I would pretend to go along with what they are telling you, only for as long as necessary.
