No, it sure wouldn't. It would be really bad for keeping humidity in as well.

Some type of wood would definately work better or glass.

A screen top would be ok, but screen sides would be impossible to keep in heat. Glass or wood would make a much better choice for the sides of the enclosure. With screen walls you also run a higher risk of your animals getting nose rubs.
