I have some of mine in 50litre rubs with mats below and all works fine, so yes that will be fine so long as the mat is statted.

50 Gallon???? thats huge!! i would have said, if it is 50g, then its too big really. Snakes hate big open spaces with a passion, and can cause you some problems!!
On the flip side, RUBS make a very good home for the snake, and can be decorated as you would any other Viv.
the main downside is that you lose that ability to just 'have a look', as the sides are mostly opaque.
the majority of my collection live in RUBS, or similar, as they are much easier to 'store' that vivs.
