I have tarahumaras. An adult would be comfortable in a 41-qt rack setup. Belly heat at 90*F, ambient 78-80*F.

If you want to use a reptile setup instead of a tub/rack system I would suggest a 36"x18"x18" tall PVC or melamine enclosure with RHP. They do like to climb so you could set up branches for them to perch on.

I would not house one in a tank, maintaining correct humidity would be difficult. Plus, boas are escape artists and most will eventually work their way out of something with a screen top.

This is a snake that can live for 20+ years, get a correct enclosure, not a fish tank.
