I wouldn't, I would just wait and order AP. A male in a 40g should be fine until you can buy a bigger one, especially if it's around xmas. Last I checked they had "quick ship" T8's (48"x24"x12") so the wait wouldn't be bad if you went with that size.

If you really want away from glass ASAP, I would find a long underbed sweater tub or xmas tree tub, drill some air holes, and get some straps to secure the lid on. UTH (with thermostat) should be plenty to heat it, you don't want to use CHE or heat lamps on a tub.
