Personally I would be concerned that cleaning such a large sized cage as that will be such a chore that it will be rarely done. So the possibility of developing a bug problem as a result is a likely probability. Especially when the cage would need to be kept relatively humid enough to help with the shed cycles. A fungus problem could potentially cause issues too if the cleaning cycle stretches out too long.

Speaking of fungus in snakes, one of my members on FaunaClassifieds brought up this interesting article:

Probably best not to subject your animals to anything this potentially harmful to them.
