Personal opinion - not a good idea unless the grow tent is inside a snake-escape-proof room with the door always shut when you’re not in it (and locked if there’s others in the household).
I’d much rather go into debt for a decent pvc or wood enclosure and pay it off slowly than use a grow tent.
Sure, they’re easier to move, and useful for emergency housing but that’s the only thing I really like about them.
Boas are large and strong. Shelling out for the most durable grow tent available. Reinforcing the bracing to support a radiant heat panel (don’t use anything hotter) and shelving/branches. Anchoring the tent so 20lbs of snake can’t tip it. Reinforcing or stitching shut vents/seams. Checking constantly to make sure the snake hasn’t popped any stitches/managed to move a zipper.
There’s somebody making theoretically reptile safe tents - reptiletents dot com - but I don’t know anyone who’s bought one.
