Cubes and coroplast cages for large snakes

Would it be possible to use a cubes and coroplast cage with some modification for large snakes like boa constrictors? I did a Google search but it seems that no one has tried it for them. I've already built onr for my sisters' future guinea pigs, and it is much easier and cheaper(55$) to build one of these than a wood cage.
Here are some examples

Here is a picture of the cage I built

And this is a website that shows how to build them www.guineapigcages.com

it looks good for a guinea pig, not a snake. that is a lot of heat loss with almost 5 full sides of screen. unless you cover most of them. but the strength would have me wonder. could the snake push through, and those big holes could cause a snake to get stuck:(.

While it will hold the animal it won't hold the heat or humidity in at all. Not a good idea.

This would be for large snakes like subadult and adult boas, and the cubes usually come in smaller mesh sizes than the ones I got(for some reason my box came with two sizes) The sides would be pretty easy to cover with the extra coroplast. If you build them with lots of zip ties, they are suprisingly strong, and I highly doubt even a female boa would be able to pull it apart

I'm sure that it could be built strong enough... But that doesn't change the fact that it can't hold in heat or humidity unless you heat/humidify the entire room.

If I covered the sides and lid with coroplast I think it would be able to hold heat and humidity pretty well. I could also put it in my reptile room which gets around 88 degrees during the day

This isn't a good idea... No other way to say it. There is a reason why you haven't found anyone else do this.

I still think that heating/humidity regulation will be near impossible.

And all of that exposed wire is just asking to cut up a snake. Small mammals aren't going to rub against the wire the way a boa would. Any money you save will be spent at the vet later on.

All and all caging isn't something to cheap out on plain and simple. The cage is part of the cost of owning a snake (espicially a large snake).

Okay, I was just wondering if it was possible :P

Yeah, a snake would repeatedly push and rub its face on the mesh, trying to find weak points, and it would damage its face badly. Mesh is bad for snakes.

On the other hand, if you were able to attach the Coroplast to the INSIDE, instead of the outside, It might actually work. It's far from the best solution I've seen, but it is, just remotely, possible. You would have to find some way to seal the seams, or the snake would push into them, and scratch itself up badly, and possibly even catch itself in them by forcing them. Some sort of shower stripping, applied with aquarium sealant, maybe?
