Questions RE boa housing?

I am well along in building an enclosure (about 3x4' 24" high) for one Boa (yet to be acquired) and I have a couple of questions.

#1 - I plan to include a small waterfall and a pond to provide humidity and a place for the snake to soak but it has been a LONG time since I last kept a Boa so ...... what would be the minimum diameter and depth for a good sized snake to get completely immersed? (The Boa I had many years ago used to enjoy a good soak but his cage was bigger and he had a dish pan for a pond and a second rectangular container of water where he pooped - sure made keeping the cage clean an easier job )

#2 - I was looking for some kind of small heater - I planned to use a car warmer but couldn't find anything less than 900W which is too much! The heater (which should have a fan) will be located in the top 6" of the cage which is screened off from the snake's compartment. Anybody seen a really small, low wattage space heater?

Thanks folks!
