There were supposed to be 3 sizes, one of them quite tall.

But as long as you get a good tub, you are good to go. Just make sure you fix the lid so the corners can't be pushed up. A determined snake can get out of a tub, even the ones with the snap on latches. The corners aren't real secure.
If you put a something around the tub, you can fix it to where they can't lift up the lid :)

So it took me a bit to get this post back up but I finished her enclosure. It's not the most visually appealing set up but it's working great. I used mostly scrap lumber I had around the house. I mounted the heat lamp approximately 8 inches from the opening I creat d to let the heat in. Eventually, according to my wife, they will be outside snakes. Or at least living in my shed. It's a big Sbd and I can hang heat lamps but for now they are in my office. So between the belly heating and lamp I think it will work fine until I upgrade to a better rack system. Don't harp on my craftsmanship please, lolhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a1eeb1e41b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...50199a55f2.jpg

looks great! sooner than later, I'd recommend ditching the heat lamp and moving to heat tape or some sort of thermostat regulated UTH so you can seal up the enclosure more and stabilize the temp and humidity with less maintenance.

I actually have heat tape that is regulated underneath and the lamp is at its lowest setting to keep the ambient temperature at around 80. That's the purpose of the whole thing so it can be out in the shed eventually
