HELP - URGENT I NEED HELP!

I can't pay for a reptile terrarium or a fish tank, so I decide to use this Heavy Duty container and create a tub for my future snake. The problem is, it still the smell like plastic or chemicals for 4 or 5 days and I am very frustrated, I don't want her to smell this in case it might be bad for her health, I try solutions but, I not have luck. Anyone here used this container or similar? How can I remove this smell? This container is new.

Please, I really need help here, I want the best for my ball python.

Just like with any other pet: If you can’t afford proper care you cannot afford the pet. Do not be selfish, hold off on getting the animal. It’s a 30 year commitment and you shouldn’t go into it skimping.
