What’s the best way to turn a plastic tub into a snake cage?

My snake has never been much of an out-and-about type of snake. She just tends to either stay in her hut or sit on top of it. When you take her out she is very active and energetic but, in her cage she just tends to sit in one spot. I’ve tried putting her in a larger tank but she doesn’t seems to be any more active. As such I’ve tended to keep in a smaller cage and she seems to be comfortable with it.

However, she is rather large now and I want to see if she would be more at home in something a bit bigger. Just as a bit of a test. I’m not very happy with tanks anymore; they’re difficult to clean, heavy and frankly a bit dangerous. I was thinking about trying out a large plastic tub because they would seem to fit all my needs.

I’ve read a few things about turning plastic tubs into cages that I’ve since forgotten. Would any of you mind giving me a few directions or linking me to site with some info?
 
Make sure the lid snaps on tightly to prevent escapes. Be sure to add plenty of holes to the sides for air. I've heard the best way to do this is to use a hot soldering iron.
 
I guess a drill would work, but the soldering iron is much easier and leaves you with no rough edges that the snake could injure itself on.
You can pick one up at walmart for around $10, and it is well worth the money. I'm sure it would be a lot faster than using a drill, also. Just be sure to have plenty of ventilation if you should choose to go that route. :crazy01:
