    I just use clean boxes, like the cardborad box that pop tarts, gummies, etc come in. Of the appropriate size

    Go to walmart and get those plant holder things. They are like plates for small plants. They're different sizes and by flipping it upside down and cutting a hole, i find it to be the best solution. They cost like 80 cents a piece so its cheap.

    Some cool whip containers, cut to be a little shorter and with an entrance soldered into them

    EDIT: Whoops...didn't see that your snake was 4.5 ft before I posted that I imagine that it'd be hard for him to fit in even the jumbo-sized cool whip containers!
