Answer
You can probably start off with a 10 or 15 gallon aquarium. Be aware that boas can get quite large, so eventually you will need something a lot bigger, but it would be an overkill to buy something like that now. For now, just the aquarium, a heat source for one side of the tank, one or two hides, some type of substrate (aspen or paper towels, etc), water bowl, and a good lid for the aquarium. Again, I would suggest getting a good book on boas.
