I really need some help here...

If money is a concern, you can go to your local Walmart or Target and find a plastic tub with a locking lid of the appropriate size until you figure out what you want to do. I have a couple of them that I've used in the past for when the snakes temporarily outpaced the snake housing. You'll still need a heat source and temp control. I drilled a few holes in the "cool" end of mine for ventilation. Not only are they good temporary housing, but I now use them for quarantine housing for new snakes.

They're very easy to disinfect between snakes. I've got two of them running in my spare room sitting on a table with large heat mat under one end and hooked to a thermostat for two snakes I bought last week that I'm keeping in quarrantine. They keep temps and humidity well--they really do make good temporary/quarrantine housing. Mine are Sterlite 25 quart 24"x15." There are plenty of other good choices out there if you want larger or smaller.
