A good rule of thumb is to add one width and length and that total will equal the total of the largest snake you could house. However, with heavy bodied snakes, you will need more room (a 4 foot Blood Python requires more room than a four foot kingsnake).
So cages that are 16x34 should hold a medium build snake that stays under 50 inches (i.e. snakes that don't exceed four feet).
Brazilian Rainbows would outgrow these cages too quickly. Some of the smaller Hog Island boas would be OK, although I think that might be a little small for a snake of that mass.
