Hello everyone at redtailboa! im a newbie here and i also just got a beautiful baby suriname. ive kept snakes before, (columbian boas, ball pythons, and briefly an argentine boa), but ive heard from some people that bcc's have different requirements than bci's. he seems to be doing quite well, temps 88 warm side, 75-80 cool side, basking spot 93, humidity between 40-50%, he hasn't shed yet but when he does i plan on bumping it up to 60%, he's on newspaper as substrate, has two hides and a large branch along with his water dish.

if anyone has any tips or advise, it would be greatly appreciated

Good job on the setup. Can't really say anything... sounds like you got it covered.
