Aaron_S is very knowledgeable about ball pythons, so you can take his advice seriously. Only thing I would add is that you don't really need to start with a small tub. It's a myth that baby snakes get stressed in large enclosures. They get stressed in large enclosures that lack hides or cover. Getting a large tub and filling it with lots of hides means that you won't end up having to buy a bunch of tubs as the snake grows. That's just my 2 cents, though.

Very good point to add. It's good advice. For me, I recommend smaller as it really helps them feel secure for eating.
Doesn't mean you can't make them feel secure in a larger tub. It's my preferred method for my babies as well as in my caresheet.
