What kind of snake are you planning on housing in that? That's a pretty large area for a ball python, if that's your species. Also, are you planning on using clear acrylic? A "shy" species such as a ball probably wouldn't do very well in that setup if that's the plan. Acrylic can also be brittle when cold/cool and can tend to shatter or snap at the joints, such as where you secure it together (screws, other mechanical fasteners, etc.) and it isn't very dimensionally stable over a longer length, as it tends to sag or bow if you don't support it. Not trying to dash your ideas, as it looks cool and could definitely work, just some things to consider. Are you planning on gluing it together or how are you planning on assembling it? I'd also be concerned with how well acrylic tolerates heat...I have no info on that but that might be something to consider if you plan on adding an artificial heat source of some type. Good luck with it!
