It depends on your heat.
If you use 4" heat tape, maybe.
The ARS racks aren't as open air as the freedom breeder racks.
Your snakes would be pretty pi$$ed at you, but I think they'd be fine as long as you checked on them at least once or twice a day.
I'd still think about putting a backup thermostat upstream of whatever you have if the snakes cost more than the thermostat.
With a freedom breeder rack and the small tape, your snakes would be fine, as long as they went to the cold spot, rather than trying to dig down to cooler substrate.
The freedom breeder uses screen as the top, ARS uses solid sheet metal with holes drilled toward the front of the rack.
