It is safe to keep snakes in fish tanks, the breeder i bbought mine from has most of his snakes in tanks and has been doing so for 30+ yrs.....as u know the biggest problem is heat retention....if u dont mind the power bill tanks are a gr8, cheap alternative.....but i wouldnt put a snake that likes to climb in a tank..

As for 3ft enclosures...go to Bunnings and get a large black tub from the gardening section...the $50 ones. They're great, cheap, just build a simple lid...and hygienic...just drag it out into the backyard (or the bath tub) and rinse it out...then disinfect and rinse again.
