Cage requirements.

I might be picling up my first BCC tomorrow and He is a 2011 hatchling and around 4 foot, he comes with a 40 gallon breeder, how long will this tank be suitable for him?

Depends on the snake, some grow slower and some spurt really quickly. My Colombian BCI male was roughly 2 years old before I needed to upgrade him to his 4' cage. If yours is already at ~4' I'd look into getting a cage/viv here pretty soon.

Boas don't hatch, they're live bearers. Depending on the growth rate, it should be okay for a while. Then again, you could get right into a boaphile or animal plastics enclosure.

Yea I knew that , my bad. But Im hoping he can stay in there for atleast another month or so.

Boas actually do hatch, inside the mother then they come out live out of the egg!!!

You could get away for a month in the 40.

Well, I hope you can keep it in the tank for a while. If you order a Boaphile 421D, it takes a while for Jeff to build it after you make the payment. I'm not sure how long, but you may want to look for some used/sale enclosures if you think you need one fast. From the reading I've done the BCC's are supposed to grow slow, and then ultimately get a bit larger than the BCI's.
