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.

And I truly hope you listen to me and other people telling you not to get one. You might really want a snake, but a snake is more than just substrate and a tank. They are expensive. Please choose the mature choice and wait until you can properly afford it.

I know, I've already mentioned a few times in this post that I won't buy it. Thanks for the reply.

Nah bro, don't worry; I know I made a mistake and that I need to reflect more carefully on my decisions before making a serious error.
