hey there

from my experiance both have there pro's and con

top access: no need to worry about substrate getting into the glass channels and also there is no worry about small snakes slipping through the gap between the glass and or wedging themselves in there i also like the fact that come feeding time you are higher when dangling prey instead of at the same level as the snake. I have also found its alot harder to put water bowls back in without spilling them as mine are abit higher but you do get more heat escaping when you open the lid than you do with front opening.

front opening: i have had snakes escape between the glass and sometimes they wedge themselves between it and it always takes abit of prodding to get them off so you can open the enclosure. I am always getting substrate in the channels and also find some of my enclosures that are stacked the bottom ones are hard to remove the glass due to weight on top. But less heat is lost when opening always easy to access and easier inho when removing snakes and putting back in again.

hope that helps
