    From what the sellers have told you so far, I'm not confident they have passed on the best advice.

    The RHP will be great, and when you can look for a larger enclosure. Hopefully you have a quality thermostat, but if not look into Herpstats.

    I would give your boa a least a month to clean out before feeding again.
