The good news is you are in Florida so you'll be ahead of the game with humidity and temps during the summer months. I wish there was a way to edit these posts after the fact. I misspelled things terribly on previous post.
I know the urge you are talking about. Eventually you won't need to expose him. He'll pop out. Unlike some snakes, these boas like their food and it's like clockwork when it's time to eat. They appear like magic and stare you down all day until meal time LOL!
Read up a bit on the care sections of Rio Bravo Reptiles. The Red Tailed boa section will apply to BCC's and BCI's.
Deviant Constrictors website has a few blog pages dealing with climate/humidity and diet as well.
You'll do just fine.
May I suggest however that if you return your cage, consider getting a plastic cage from on of the many quality cage makers. Boas love them.!
This is a Pro-Line 48" x 23" x 14" cage. I have a almost 1 year old male Colombian, Barranquilla locality boa.
