Wink New ETB on the way- advice/tips?

Hi everyone!
I have always loved ETBs and GTPs. I am getting a 2-year-old, hand-trained ETB this coming week, and I am soo excited. From the pictures I can see, it looks to be about 3 feet long. I got for housing an Exo-terra 18x18x24 rainforest habitat kit. I will put a cradle holding a dowel perch in it for the snake to lie on. I also need to get fluourescent bulbs for the light hood.
Anyone have experience keeping these guys? What should I watch out for? I think the snake will arrive on Wed. March 18 in the early morning. Altough it is a docile one, will it be likely to snap when it first arrives being as it will have been cooped up in a little box overnight?
I know it will need to be misted 3x daily and the humidity kept up above 75% in day and 65% at night. It is supposed to be eating twice monthly.
I have never had one of these but have had good luck with all my other snakes so far. Any advice and tips would be very much appreciated
