Is this suitable for a full grown king snake. If not, what would be big enough. Im worried that it wont be tall enough.

Thanks again.
If you're going the tank route I would personally recommend at least a 20 gallon long for him, if not something larger. Though from experience kings and corns do like to climb branches and whatnot from time to time they prefer more floor space to roam and stretch out on. I wouldn't worry about something not being high enough over something not having the floor space for him to really stretch.
For tubs, a nice long 41qt (I've seen some nice 55-60 qt ones as well all under $15) would be even better because they allow for a lot of floor space, though you won't be able to put in branches for it.
I would bring your tank since I'm not sure what size it is (20 gallon Highs are 24x12x16 while 30 gallons are around 36x18x16) to the current owner's house and stick him in there and see how much room he has.
