>>I suppose it depends on what you're going for: presentation or just plain keeping, as well as how much money you're willing to spend on a set up. Tubs and terrariums both work great, and it's recommended to keep them in small quarters as juveniles, but they will need more space (obviously) as they grow older, and if you've looked into blood pythons, you know they are quite a chunky snake as adults.
I would assume as a juvenile, a terrarium of about two or three feet long, a foot and a half wide, and say a foot tall would be sufficient until they start growing into sub-adult/adulthood.
However, I am not so well versed with blood pythons. I only know what I have read and what I plan to do. Hopefully this will give you some more direction & some of the more experienced dudes & dudettes on this forum can give you something more specific.

I think the most important thing when dealing with bloods is to be sure caging is not too large. I have talked to people at educational shows who complain that their baby bloods didnt eat and then they died. They were housed in a 20 gallon tanks. Bloods do not do well with all that glass. They are a quiet secretive snake and they need their privacy. Too much space sresses them.
