there are no clear rubbermaids, but thats good, that means the snake will feel more secure. you really have to forget YOUR need to see the snake and remember the snakes need to feel secure. a large rubbermaid shoebox, about 8x 17 x 6 inches high would be fine for your carpet. you just need to drill or solder holes for ventilation, and since youre not using a rack the rubbermaids lid acts as the cover. as a side note, placing a piece of wood ontop of the tank cuts ventiation, which can lead to resp. infections with carpets. and AFTER the snake is feeding reliable, you could move it into a larger rubbermaid with a modified front..meaning (and this is how most of my snakes are housed), you cut part of the front out, and then add a piece of plexiglass. but thats for after the snake is feeding reliably (3 or more meals taken on the first try). but before anything you need to make sure that baby is feeding. i should really be a spokes person for rubbermaid, but honestly there really isnt anything better for housing small to medium (and even some large) snakes.
