20 gallon tank for a baby grey rat snake?

I recently acquired a baby grey rat snake and have been keeping him in a small sterilite tub, secured with binder clips. However, I've read from a few different sources that they are quite active and enjoy climbing. I know the general rule is to keep baby snakes in small enclosures to keep them from getting stressed out, but this little guy seems to be adjusting to his enclosure well. Rather than staying hidden away, he spends a lot of time roaming around. Provided he has plenty of hides, do you think it would be beneficial to put him in the 20 gallon tank? Or should I just keep him where he is until he puts on some size?

Unfortunately, it seems like the 20 gallon tank will probably be a no-go. Apparently I missed a some damage to a portion of the screen lid. I don't feel like risking my baby getting loose, or hurting himself on the broken pieces of screen. If I'm going to put him in a larger enclosure, I'll probably be going with a sterilite tub of similar volume. What do you guys think? And do baby rat snakes tend to display more arboreal behavior, or are they ground dwellers?

I'd put him in something aorund that size I guess. I had my grey ratsnake(2 feet long) in a 3x2x2 and he used everything. Always climbing, resting on the branches. Ate fine, pooped fine.
