Default a question about the care of boas

ive read alot of care sheets regarding boa constrictor constrictors. they all seem the same apart from one aspect which seems to vary and that is the size of the vivs. the information ranges for 3ft vivs to 9ft vivs stating that they are the minimum sizes.

my question is i have a 4x2x2 viv with a 2x2 shelf on the hot end with the possibility of another shelf on the cooler end. will this be sufficient for a bcc?

what is the temp of both ends, i have the right side of the tank about 80 to 81 and the left dead on 77 ,helps them pick what side to choice of temp, plus with boas i wouldint let it go down any more then 74 or any higher then 90, plus if you got rocks the rocks can go up to about 140 odd of heat, so i say its good to have one end warm and one end a little warm but not to cold, hope this helps

the temperatures are not of concern to me as i know that they are correct, im just wondering about the size and will a 4x2x2 be suitable for 1 boa constrictor for the rest of its life?
