As long as you can maintain that proper humdity and the snake isn't overly stressed by the enclosure then I say go for it. A very young animal would probably do best in a rubbermaid tub for a while and then get moved into the larger enclosure when it gets bigger. I keep mine in Greg Maxwell style cages. They have glass fronts and so I can view my snakes very easily in a pleasing looking enclosure. I don't think all green tree pythons get stressed in a display cage. Many keepers keep theirs in clear cubes and they do fine. I also disagree that they don't move much. My chondros are all in 36 X 24 X 24 cages and most of them spend quite a lot of time at night moving around. Given space and a stimulating cage to move in, I think they move quite a bit. I'd say the majority of my chondros would do just fine in a display environment. A few wouldn't. Just depends upon the animal. Some are very laid back...some aren't. The biggest problem I think you'll have with the exoterra is keeping the humidity up to par. Unless you live where it's already quite humid, then the combination of scree and heat emitter might dry the cage out faster than you can keep it damp.
