Dwarf boa caging

I got 2 crawl cay boas at Tinley from Vin Russo. They are beautiful babies and they're doing great! Right now they're in hatchling tubs since they're yearlings but they have some growing to do. They will max out at 4-5 foot with the females being larger of course. I have a cb70 rack that the male will be fine in when he's fully grown. But what about the female? Would she need something bigger like an 80 or 85? Or would she need 3x2 or 4x2 caging? If anyone has any experience with these or is more knowledgeable than me about rack sizes I would appreciate your advice. Thanks to all!

Assuming 5' length, I'd go with bigger, at least 4X2. Some people will probably say that is unnecessary, but we aren't talking about timid hatchlings here. I like my adult animals to have space to move. To me, the recommended "minimum" is just that - a size that is ok, but maybe one can do better.

My Tarahumara male and female are both in 41-qt tubs in a rack. The male could easily downsize to a 34-qt as he is tiny. The female is perfect in the 41-qt, though when a slot opens up in my 54-qt rack I might go ahead and give her an upgrade.

The tarahumara or the caulker cay are definitely on my list to get next. I really like their dark cryptic pattern.
