I would recommend covering up the back and sides to give a better sense if security. This way you still can view the snake from the front, but there will be a more closed, covert ambience for the snake to feel more safe.
Also, depending on what you use, it can help heat retention, I uses metallic bubble wrap insulation when i had a glass tank and it worked well for both heat and security.
