What size rubbermaid?

I am thinking of getting a Dumeril's or a Red tail. I don't have a lot of space right now so I figured a rubbermaid will help save space will still being efficient. What size would keep either one of these snakes throughout its life? I don't think they have any special humidity conflicts but if they do please tell me.

Ummm I don't think there is a rubbermaid that big (for the RTB). Don't know for sure how big a dum gets though.

If you are short on space you may want to consider a smaller snake. Generally these snakes require a 4x2 cage as adults, sometimes even larger.

Well how long till they need the full large cage? I am in college and so in a few years when I am out I would have a large enough enclosure for it.

Most Colombian boas can be housed in their adult cages when they are one year of age or so. Bcc grow a little slower than Bci however. I don't know what the growth rate is like on Dumerils so I cannot help much there. I would hold off on getting a bigger snake until you have the room for it at present.
