The only downfall I can see is the combination of heat from the heat lamp and the newspaper substrate is gonna make it impossible to hold humidity, which might make shedding difficult. That and with milk snakes it'd be better to use belly heat or back heat instead of an overhead light. And some of those heat lamps get extremely hot, with how close that light is already to the snake in that cage I'd say if that's not a lamp you can control the temperature on then that's just an all around bad idea.
