If a snake can get it's head through a hole past the eyes, then they can get the rest of the body through if there is no meal in the gut to block passage.
Corns can't escape from everything. I make tank tops out of 1/8 or 1/4 inch pegboard. I've never had an adult corn get out through those holes. Even a neonate would have difficulty getting through 1/8 inch pegboard holes.

Looked at the picture. I've never even seen such a top, so I can't say whether a baby corn could get through it or not.
FWIW, I don't care for screen tops. There is a thread in the ball python forum about a snake that scuffed its nose on screen. And I've seen worse than scuffing caused by screen.
