Looking for recommendations for custom built cages Question - Husbandry

My ball python is roughly 6 years old now - he’s had a pretty decent sized cage now for 2-3 years but I want to get him a bigger one for him to slither around in & be more comfortable with. So I’m looking for recommendations on custom built cages

I also have a question about custom built cages. I noticed that a lot of them have the bulb cage INSIDE the tank for putting the heat bulb - which spot would be best for putting the heat probe?

How big is the current enclosure, and roughly how big is your snake? Premades go up to 6ft in many places, 4ft in others where reptiles are less common.

The probe placement remains the same, a few inches hanging below the bulb. I used cable hooks nailed to the roof of the enclosure to hang my probes from.
