Building a viv for an unhandy person?

Yup, tubs work great! Even for a larger, slow-growing snake like a boa constrictor, a nice big tub could last you 2-3 years at least depending on growth rate and feeding regimen. If you get a larger snake, by then maybe you'd have the money for a 4-footer. If you go with a snake ball python size or smaller, a 3' cage should be sufficient in most cases.
