Post Enclosure Question

Right now I'm preparing to purchase the enclosure for the hognose that I am getting. I am debating whether or not to get a glass reptile aquarium (with ventilation and screen top), or to use a tupperware container like those pictured in the post below. I am leaning towards getting the glass tank for aesthetic reasons - however my budget is not going to withstand getting a small tank for when the snake is juvenile, and then upgrading to something larger not far down the road. So my main question - is it plausible to get a larger glass tank and partition it in half or 1/3 the length for when the snake is young, and then remove the partitions as it grows?

I don't have much experience with the heat gradients needed in a snake enclosure, or the proper management of humidity levels inside the tank. Maybe one of you could give me some tips for getting things right the first time around.

thanks,

Andrew
