Yes, but that 18 inches of height that is unneeded adds to the size of a tank. A 41qt tub has more floor space than a 10g tank. A 10g tank is usually around 20" long, 10" wide, and 12" tall. A 41qt tub adds another 10 inches in length and provide much more space.
Thanks for the clarification.
Also, thanks for the pictures Freakie_frog. Helped put this into perspective.

6qt tubs for hatchling
16qt tubs f200 - 600g
32qt tubs for 601 - 1200g
41qt tubs for 1201g+
this also varies due to the individual snake. :gj:

Yes that's fine for your snake.
Make sure it has a nice tight fitting hide or two and maybe some fake plants to help it feel secure.
