You will have a booger of a time providing the optimum environmental conditions for a ball python using a mesh enclosure. If you use one, be prepared to have an entire room that is climate controlled & set to perfect conditions for your snake 24/7/365.

In other words, there are quite a few caging solutions that will be better & more cost effective in the long run, in addition to meeting your snake's needs (which is the #1 priority!).
