I saw some videos people do it like that but I'm not sure~~ I didn't find many Suriname care sheets, but after reading them all I think the temperature may should be between 75-92. The two heat mat idea is great! I was actually worried about deep enclosure will make it difficult to keep temperature so I choose this shallow one... not sure is it OK for him. Oh! And may I know if I make only a few holes and the humidity and temperature is always high, like 80% humidity, will it cause some problems? Like RI or other sicknesses? Since the air flow will be not that good if there are fewer holes. Thank you so much!!!
It's up to you if you want to use foil tape. Most keepers swear by it. (Personally I prefer painters tape but that's just me). If you do use foil tape just make sure not to tape the thermostat probe head itself and tape the very neck of it instead (the wire) as foil tape may cause inaccurate readings. Just make sure it's snug and secure so there is no chance of it moving.
As for humidity limitations and ventilation I can't say for sure since I'm not at all familiar with Suriname boa husbandry. Hopefully someone who is can share their feedback!
