Adult Hog Island Boa

[Pokey]

An adult hog island boa was "donated" to a local pet store. I am not sure of the sex, but it is about 6 feet long and in great shape. Not to mention the fact that it has a great temperment. It eats well and enjoys being held, or at least it doesn't try to get away. I was wondering if there is any specific care issues involved with buying a 5 year old hog island boa that is outside the care of any other boa. I mean, is there anything i need to be concernd about?
I know that the temps need to have a 80-90 F gradient with 50-60% humidity and at least 1 sq ft of floor space per foot in body length with fresh water and a suitable hide(s).
But is this going to be an aboreal snake, or will I need to rethink my temps and humidity? The nice people at the pet shop were not the most knowledged in the area of husbandry for this particular snake.
I have owned a red-tail, and currently am rasing a baby ball python, so i am accustomed to being mindful of a snake and its needs.
Thanks

Hoggies rock. I have a 5.5' girl.

They don't need to climb. Same husbandry as a colombian boa. They tend to stick in the cool hide a lot though.

So, should I lower the temps to keep the ambient temp cooler than 80's? Or is the 90F basking spot a must?

I keep mine at 90 warm, 80 cool.. versus 92-95/82-85 respectively.
