Ball pythons may be perfectly happy in such a setup but it is not what I would use for garter snakes. They do better in a brightly lit enclosure with basking lights in my opinion. They aren't the kind of snake that is content to hide in a dark box warmed only by surface heat. I would think about LED or florescent light and maybe a small watt basking spot light. If the top screens are heat resistant then it should be easy to implement.

Yeah the top screen is heat resistant. A low watt basking bulb like a 50 watt with UVA? Any suggestions on the best bulbs would be appreciated, apparently some of these bulbs burn out quick.
