A converted aquarium is the easiest enclosure provided there is a secure locking lid. The advantage to an aquarium is the glass bottom. You can affix a heating pad under the tank. If you build one and have a wooden floor supplying belly heat becomes a problem. You are going to run into a problem if the temps reach 35C with humidity. Cooling will definitely be needed. When the temps hit 95F in my area you never see a corn snake during the day, they hide in a cool spot and become active only at night.

I have built several enclosures over the years. We are lucky here because we can buy 4x8 sheets of thin wood products that have a coating similar to melamine. If you can find thin plywood there and cover it with melamine or formica that would work.
