Make sure your set up is 100% for when it arrives so that you don't have to bother it at all for the first week aside from water changes. Also practice proper quarantine no matter what. I see so many people fail on these 2 things and it kills me. They are so simple and so important.

Do you have the tub set up already? If not I would. A few days to see how the temps and humidity play out is always good practice.

My atb would soak in his water bowl. I know that is unusual but its a good idea to have one.

Re: Tips and Tricks for My New Addition (Coming Thursday)

be careful not to pull/force arboreals off of perches, they get wrapped up around them and too much force could injure their spine. i use an arboreal cage from boaphile for my carpet, they come with a removable perch which alleviates this problem.

as far as husbandry, pvc cages with a completely closed off top hold humidity well, another reason to go with the cage i mentioned above

read a few care-sheets on atbs

post pics

good luck!
