The 4x4 is for a huge green tree python. It would be great to have something large enough to put a nesting box in the bottom for her.
Also have a short tail python. Making her a 8Wx2T, possible 6W, as the base.
Overall the STP case will provide a 6-8ft base. That can fit the 4x4 GTP case, and the 4 stack of AP 2x1’s flush in a roughly 6x6 square.
Can't wait to see what those no longer idle hands can do.

Now that I know I’m going with a hard vinyl track. This track is on Amazon. Says in the title for 1/2” bare sliding glass doors. They slide effortlessly. Comes in a few sizes. If anyone plans to DiY a box with sliding glass front these tracks come in multiple sizes. Longest length I seen though was 4ft.
So 52 lbs glass panes slide effortlessly on hard vinyl track. Good to know. That'll be very useful if I ever need to build an enclosure for a monster. Keep the tips coming.

That would be great. I don't expect my box to last my pet's lifespan, and it looks like I could learn a thing or two from you.

We generally recommend using aquarium sealant for reptile enclosures. If you haven't already, I suggest you do some research on this product before exposing your snakes to it.
