Lay the cage down on its side and have it be 8 foot long by 4 ft high and 4 ft deep...
It will be alot easier to heat that way and the snake can stretch all the way out if it wants to
Boas really don't climb much as adults anyhow.

Get in touch with Pro Products, and inquire about this radiant heat panels. You'll need a very large one to heat an enclosure that size.
Do you have the cage already, or are you building it?

are the sides solid or wire? alot of iguana cages have hardware cloth for the sides..if thats the case...it probobly wont work...if not then its just a matter of getting somthing to put out enough heat...the biggest problem will be the height...thats alot of space to try and heat
