Depends. Is it a long, or tall or what? They need more floor space than virtical. There a many adult BPs housed in a 40 long.

I have no idea what this is.

A 10 is fine. You can keep it there until it hits around 900 grams, then I would consider moving it up. Mostly, it depends on the snake. Make sure you provide adequate hides, temp and humidity.

Anytime.
