I don't think either of these sizes come close to what is required - as a young snake you will be fine with a large-ish click-clack type tub...as an adult you will need a MINIMUM of 4x2x2...a bit larger would be even better...

...particularly if you have the intention of setting up the enclosure as a display enclosure a bigger setup will look better...

...in regards to younger or older snakes - it is really personal preference - many people will recommend something around the yearling mark as it has an established feeding history etc etc - provided you get a hatchling that you can guarantee has been feeding you shouldn't have a problem with that either...however, these smaller snakes will need to start off in a smaller tub before going straight into the large enclosure...
