    Well since 3 16s looks about the same width at 1 41, why not do 2 rows of 3? You can always buy more tubs.

    Looks like a low ceiling two rows of three make more sense given the available space.

    If you have not already you might want to check and see if you can get melamine mounted on a formaldehyde free substrate. It is unclear what effect formaldehyde gas has on snakes in the long term if you have an option it would make sense to take it.
