Aren't those the all screen enclosures? I don't think they'd be very secure for a snake at all. They're better suited for chameleons, etc.

I have my Florida King in the 72" Reptarium and she is all over it. They have a zipper so if you forget to zip it your snake could escape. As far as humidity, they are not very good because of the increased ventilation.

I had a six foot bullsnake in a reptarium who tried constantly to get out and he never did. Right now I have a cal king in one. I think they work great. You just cant have anything that needs a ton of humidity.

I just set mine up. I have two one on top of the other. One problem I have now is the heating pads have come loose. As in they don't stick to the cage. The instructions with the Reptarium say you can use heating pads but it is not working.
I have the heating pad just sitting on a plank between the plank and the cage for now not sure how well this will work. Anyone have experience with this?
