Just to offer another view: I prefer glass tanks any day over plastic/acrylic enclosures (& yes, I've tried a couple), & I would NEVER house a snake in a tub for anything other than brumation (no heat applied to the plastic). The plastic most (or maybe all of you?) are using is not that stable nor is it meant for anything other than the storage of non-living things. Please do some 'homework' on plastic. Whatever your choice for housing a snake, you can make it work. Each way has it's own drawbacks.
