My boyfriend has that one at his work, and I wasn't very happy with it for snakes. It may work well for small static objects, but wasn't really big enough to contain any of my larger balls without them pressing up against the walls, at which point the fabric seams showed and it was just unnatractive. Also, the lamps are quite tiny and were not very effective at lighting a large enough area. For very tiny things that don't move and can be effectively centered in the device, it would probably work well (he photographs dental drill bits with it).
I'm planning on one of the home-made setups instead...
