Well a small snake could go In like a 15qt and I use 34qt for my adult males. You'd have to modify it a bit by drilling or sodering holes to let heat and humidity dissapate slowly. But they work well. I have a lg Collection so I keep qts in a different room. But for a small collection provided no mites are seen on either, you could keep them in the same room. Review qt practices on the site. A uth for both and a thermostat to hook the uth's up to. I beleive hydrofarm is a relativly decent inexpensive one. Also people have used plug in lamp dimmers as a rheostat. Your have to fiddle with it a bit. But atleast the uth's would be controlled.
