Container for snakes?

Im looking into getting a female Children's python to breed, but i dont want to pay hundreds of dollars on a enclosure so i want to know if i can keep her in a a tub container.
Size?
How can i heat it?
Can i only keep her in it while she is small?
I have a male at the moment, is it better to put the male in a contain and put a female in his enclosure so when it comes to breeding time they have more space or whatever?

Thanks.

Yeah you can keep her in a tub. Just make it a good size, unescapable ( no sticky tape) and put a heat mat with thermostat under one end. A couple of hides and clean water. Make sure it has vent holes.

I would have to say, even for a Childrens being a small snake a click-clack wouldn't be an ideal enclosure for an adult.

I've seen a 4ft enclosure on the tradingpost for $260, so I may go with that, but Container would be easier.
