what type? minimum of 4x2 usually

It depends on what locality of boa we are talking about. If its a true red tail such as a surinam(sp?) a 6'x2' cage should suffice for an adult. If it is something like a columbian red tail boa a smaller cage of around 4'x2' should work for you. Hope this helps a little.

colombians can get quite large too. just ask my 8 footer.

but I agree mostly...

I like a 6x3x3 for large boas in the 10 foot range, and 4x2x2 for smaller boas like Nicaraguans and other small locale red tails.

The biggest you can go within reason is better. An 8' boa could live in a 4' by 2' cage, she may be crampt a bit. I would say for anything in the 8-10'+ range, a 6' by 3' would be a good idea.
