Re: I made a massive mistake...

Even the biggest tubs are cheap, and fantastic for maintaining proper temp and humidity. That way you could provide him with more room while you save up for a PVC enclosure.
Almost every reputable PVC enclosure maker is absolutely hammered with orders, and while the supply chain for materials will gradually open up as the Covid situation resolves over the next year or so, I don't think you will ever really see a fast turnaround time for a good PVC. So settle in, do your research and planning and saving, and eventually order an enclosure that you can be sure will comfortably accommodate your snake. It is absolutely worth the wait, and in the meantime tub enclosures can be really excellent.
I sneakily "removed" the tub the whole thing came with when I put the ad for it back up earlier today for such purposes. My only hangup is how ambient heat is going to work since I know a regulated UTH shouldn't melt the plastic provided air flow is given, but I'm no so sure about a CHE...
Another thing is I can return the screen top I bought for the 55 gallon I was going to repurpose so, there's a little extra money back there too.
Part of me wants to keep the 55 gallon "just in case" but, it's probably best to sell it anyway. Besides, once he moves to the tub, the retrofitted 30 gallon is still there for "potential future use."
