I have my baby grey rat snake in a 15 gallon(roughly) tub, and he has two branches, a fake vine and a cardboard tube suspended on a wire. He uses them a lot, along with burrowing in the shredded paper bedding. The great thing about the tubs is that they can be easily modified. You can melt holes in them and run wires or strings across the tub to give the snake plenty climbing area. In my new bloodred corn snake's tub, I've used suction cups to hold up some strings and fake vines for her to climb on.
There are a lot of possibilities that people don't consider.

No one is arguing this. The original point is that you can't go too big. A big enclosure will only stress out a snake if you don't provide cover for it.
