I feel your pain, sure I don't have as many lizards/snakes as you do but the sliding tops built for the cages are inadequate to say the least. I could go on about their issue's but we all know them and deal with it. The biggest issue is how flimsy they are, the mesh used let alone the frame on the slide top is amazingly weak. I've purchased a couple of custom built cages with the sliding front door with a solid steel mesh top.

I've considered drawing up plans for a horizontal multi-unit system with lockable wheels, the top would be a steel mesh top that could be swung open like the top of a piano. If you are the handy type you could simple make/re-engineer the mesh tops with a steel mesh or, look online for manufacturers, I believe 'zilla' makes one.

I can post pictures of the newer custom cage so you can get an idea.
