Rubbermaid?

I saw a 96 quart/gallon tub at WalMart today. I was thinking could a boa live in that? I was in a hurry so I didn't see the measurements on it, but it seemed prety big but questionable. And I saw this sold there too for about $10.00

It is a Sterilite 106 quart
It is 33 3/4”L x 19 3/8”W x 13 3/8”H, that isn't going to work for my boa when she gets bigger.

If the larger 100 qt sterilites are the ones I am thinking of they work alright for boas but the floor space really isn't as much as the measurements make it sound.. I personally use the 41 qt underbed wheeled 7" tall sterilites (they are 10-12 bucks each and work awesomely) I keep boas in them up to 5' and they are plenty big and are great ( think the measurements on them are 39" x 20" x 7" so you can fit 2 in the same space the other tubs would take)..

Also the multiple shelf one you linked isn't a good idea to use unless you do ALOT of modification to them. They are escape prone and I have seen people have animals get injured when people pull the drawers out when the snake has crawled partially up and out.
