I used the same while we were moving cross-country as temporary homes for my collection. They worked quite well for me with a long strip of heat tape and a thermostat.

I'm planning to get only one snake at the moment, but in the future I would possibly want more. My friend and I are both getting ball pythons at Repticon tomorrow, and I plan to move in with her some time. She wants more snakes as well, so a rack system seems like a good option!

Re: UTH Help!
I'd suggest one of the Sterilite tubs that KMG referred to then. Checkout this thread for a little direction on proper set-up for one snake: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=139156. In that thread, I can't stress enough the importance of a reliable thermostat to regulate your heat pad. I firmly believe a thermostat is the most important piece of equipment you can buy for your snake.
After a bit, once you're comfortable with care and get addicted (oh, it will happen) then you can go down the rack road.
I know a few guys who will be vending at the show - they're all good people. That's the best part about this hobby, and we're lucky to have a really good local group here. As for me, I'm not sure if I'll be going. I'm on a self-imposed ban on adding any more snakes until I produce some of my own this coming year. We'll see though. :)
