You can purchase a plastic cage (4ft x 2ft floor area for example) with heat (undercage) and you are done with that part.
The other option is build your own with front doors and use one or two radiant heat panels to heat the cage. A cabinet shop will often build you the cage shell, and you can do the doors and heater install.
BPs like to hide all day and come out a dusk or evening. So your idea of a display cage, if taylored for the benefit of the snakes, will pretty much not have any snake activity during the day most of the time.
IMO, ball python and "display" is an example of irony. These snakes do best housed with tight hides or at least allow the snakes to be largely out of view.
I really think breeder setups actually benefit ball pythons. And I'm not a big fan of rack systems persay, or at least, for every single species of snake. But for balls, it makes sense.
