Help! I got a brazillian rainbow boa for my birthday

[bcr229]

That's very helpful! Thank you. I'll probably move him to a tub then I'll get one tomorrow. Any more advice on that setup? I really want to see him succeed. And his ambient Temps should be 85? Until how long? When should I move him from the tub and lower the Temps a little (as in age)
I also have a lot of sphagnum moss! Is that okay? Or is the other moss preffered
-also, he eats and every time he goes to push the food down further he takes a big yawn. Is this normal? My Kenyan sand boa doesn't do this. I know they're different but I spare no questions lol. And he constantly tongue flicks. Maybe getting used to the new place still.

Absolutely not! 85*F is the max safe ambient that a BRB can tolerate before experiencing neurological issues. Many people read that and keep their cool spots too low - 80-82*F - as a result, and then they end up with snakes that get sick or regurge because they can't digest. Mine run at ambient in the mid 70's with a basking spot of 85-87. The max safe ambient is something you need to keep in mind in case you have a power outage or air conditioner failure in the summer, you will need a way to keep your snake cool.

Spaghnum moss is fine for humidity, I just prefer cypress mulch.

Yawning/resetting the jaw after eating is normal behavior for most snakes.
