I like to use the biggest plastic tub I can afford. By "big" I mean a big floor space, not necessarily tall sides. "Gallons" doesn't mean a thing because you're not measuring how much water it will hold. You want a big floor space. And the plastic bins are much cheaper than aquariums. You can figure out how to cut holes in the lid and position the light/heat over the holes, leaving the lid on to keep the warm, moist air inside.
I use the Christmas tree storage bin made by Iris, but it would be hard to find this time of year:
I have the lid off for the picture.
