As for the little guy in the pic, a 40 gallon tank will be fine for probably another year and you might as well use it if you already have it. I have a 2007 female and she's still in a 41qt sterlite with plenty of room. She is on the small side but I'm just sayin.
I agree. If it is a male, then you should easily be able to house him in a three foot cage. Central American boas are also smaller than some types of boas.

I would wait until his body length is at least as long as the cage. He could comfortably stay in a cage that is 3/4 the length of his body.
