    I would keep it in it til it gets to be as long as the tub. But I have no experience with boas so someone else should chime in with more experience.

    I would think that the tub you linked to is too short for a boa, but I don't have any first hand experience with them.

    A 41 q sterilite is said to be good for "medium" sized boas so maybe 2-3 years. The rule of thumb is that width + length should be no shorter than the length of their body. If I remember correctly the 41 q should work until 5 feet.

    The 66 qt works great for boas in 4-5 ft range.

    I just moved a 4 ft Dumerils out of one, and I used one as a quarantine tub for a 5 ft ground boa. For BCC/BCI's, I would suggest using the 105 qt tubs. They are taller, and you can provide branches or pvc pipe and such for the snakes to perch on.
