A male or a small female can easily be kept in one of the largest underbed tubs. Or, this time of year, they're selling the large, long Xmas tree storage tubs... those work great too, if you're not into tanks at all. This guy sells them too: http://reptiletubs.com/ They're the VE series, but I think you could probably find them cheaper at Wal-mart.
