I also like the idea of a taller enclosure, so I can see the snake climb once in a while, even if it rarely does so.

I've been thinking of trying to build a rack that has the shelving itself slide out - kind of like the shelf for your keyboard on a good computer desk. The terrarium would sit on the shelf. The self itself would slide out smoothly on a good sturdy set of tracks and rollers, whenever you wanted access.

Complicated and expensive, but the results might be worthwhile.
Your idea could work fairly well. The most expensive part would be the ball bearing sliders.

What about building a display rack with 3 or 4 slots, sealed off with polyurethane so it's water proof / resistant and put sliding or fold down doors so your animals are on display. Like this by boaphile.
