The least expensive method is an open frame of 2x4s for the sides and then install plywood shelves with no back. What you end up with is an open frame rack. Of course you need boa boxes to size to. I forgot how much those big 4x2 plastic boxes cost (from Vision or Freedom Breeder). So you will be spending some bucks for sure for plywood and boxes. Then you need to add heat and figure out how to not have the boxes rub on the heat tape.
The middle cost approach is purchasing qty 5 stackable plastic 4x2x1 boa cages (probably around $1100 shipped w/o heating).
Freedom Breeder for example has a boa stack of 6 cages, or you can go only 5 cages (or 4, or 3, or 2). With heat and thermostat installed ready to roll it is around $2K for 5. Once you have a setup like this, you will not ever look back. And it will outlast your snakes.
Big snakes are expensive to house for sure.
