I really don't think it would be a good idea for a large snake. Especially when you consider that some large boas and especially giants are capable of busting out of glass enclosures. I imagine if they were determined they could push through.
Plus, as has been mentioned, heat and humidity would be hard to maintain, even if you covered it probably. :/ And how would you close the bottom? What substrate would you use? Wouldn't high heat melt the material?
It doesn't seem like a very good idea at all. But that's my .02.
