What an assumption. They don't move a lot in captivity because they are fed food and mating partners therefore this replicates their behaviour in the wild.
Of course they would. There would be numerous other ecological factors in play.
Prey abundance and dispersal, predation, competition (intra and interspecific), density dependance, off spring dispersal, ideal free distribution .......
