If you want the smallest kind you can get. Purchase a male central american. It shouldn't get over 6-7 feet long.
Make sure the cage is 6 fet long, 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall. With a large enough water bowl for it to soak in and logs and branhces for it to climb on. Mine stays on his branch all day.
Hot side should be 90-92 and the "cool" side should be not les then 82. At night, all of my heaters are turned off but the room doesn't go bellow 75 degrees F.

I own one of those too. Not much difference in length but like 1/2 the girth when adult. Great snakes none the less, pretty much same requirements.
To the starter of the thread....
You said you want a "big" snake. How big are we talking about here? So far you want the smallest of a species and that's not always reliable when aiming at a specific size.
right now i have my hogisland with my pastel female and they locked up last night so i will have babies soon i hope
I was just getting ready to ask this same question. I finally talked the old lady into a big snake!!! Rep, I'll hopefully soon be getting in touch with you. You ship to FL?
