They all look a little underweight at that size, don't worry about it. With a few meals under it's belt, it'll look a little more plump. These things are also known as 'slender boas' and Brazilians will always be more trim than some of their counterparts such as Columbians :)

Woah, what a looker!

Good for you for allowing him time to adjust.

Humidity should be a bit higher at 90% at his age.

By "OK," what temp do you mean? He should have a range of 82 high to 72 low.

See my other post regarding the weight issue. BTW, as a tip for the future, it's always best to only post the same query in a single thread, as it keeps the discussion centralized and focused. :-)
