Haven't posted in the forums for awhile but since I am adopting my first boa I thought that I'd try to get a little input. She is an adult Surinam.
I plan on keeping the new arrival in a rubbermaid for the first little while until she settles in. What would be an appropriate size for the rubbermaid? I intend to build a larger enclosure soon. Any insights would be appreciated.

How big is she? You will likely be hardpressed to find a suitably sized rubbermaid that you could comfortably house your snake in. Even the large cargo rubbermaids are only good for a night or two at best for most adult boas. Being an adult female I would assume she is at least 7'. Bare minimum for anything 6-8 feet is 4'x2', 8-10 feet is 5'x2'.
