Okay okay. Enough with all the lectures...jeeze. While it will most likely turn out bad (aka their parental units will FREAK), keep in mind the origional question. Nothing yall say will prob make them change their mind about getting a snake...

So moving on to the origional question...
Yeah, looks good. I went to WalMart to get my tubs too. I did the Rubbermade "Roughneck" or whatever brand because it's more for outdoor storage, so you can rest assured it won't melt/warp from the heat coming from the UTH(s) under the tub. I really like the locking lids too. I do use a bungee cord around the middle when transporting the cages and to make sure they can't escape. Be sure to burn lots of tiny air holes all around them though (as I'm sure you already planned).

Well...good luck with your snake and with you parents! Hope I helped
