It depends... ideal for who? 2x2x2 is probably the minimum size you should put an adult in. It is convenient for people who have several snakes in a small room. They seem to do quite well in a 2x2x2... I am personally in favor of larger cages. they allow you to have a better temperature gradient. If you go too big then they become really hard to heat proprely...I like 3 to 3 1/2Lx2wx2h or something like that...
As far as the screen top I would strongly reconsider. A screen top makes it realy hard to maintain the amount of humidity necessary for a GTP. You should look into small lateral or backwall vents and a radiant heat panel but leave the top intact...
