As a rule of thumb I would recommend at least a cage as long as the snake and half as wide for terrestrial snakes. Although this formula changes somewhat once you exceed 6 feet or are dealing with arboreal snakes.

I just go with the general "2/3rds rule." If a boa is 6', give it 4' of length. So therefore a 3' boa would get 2', etc etc....

As for height, I used to go with 24" but that seemed to waist a lot of needed space so I now use only 12" in height. My depth I have currently is as 2' for all my boas. The largest is just over 6'. For substantially larger boas I would increase the depth to 3'.
