This is a great write up on making a tub work.

A tub will be far easier to maintain correct husbandry in, rather then a glass tank. However, if you do want a glass tank setup, there is also a write up on how to make a 20 gallon long work for you.

Here is the one for the tub. Remember, if you have a very young BP, a smaller tub might be advisable. Or, you need to clutter up the space with lots of hides and fake greenery, etc.

I'm not sure if you are talking about mouse pinkies or rat pinkies. But even a newly hatched Ball Python should be started on either mice hoppers or rat fuzzies. So you can probably bump up the rodent size.
