Tarahumara Mountain Boa Husbandry Questions

Hello! I'm new to this forum and new to boas, but not new to snakes in general. I'm interested in Tarahumara mountain boas and have found one I'm interested in purchasing, it is coming from a reputable breeder. I am going to be speaking with him later today and will certainly ask him these questions as well, but in the mean time thought I'd ask here, too.

I'm finding lots of good info on where these snakes are from and all, but very little on their husbandry. More specifically, temperatures. I've been reading that they are more tolerant of cooler temps. How cool is cool? Will it be comfortable at room temp (71-73) as long as he has a hot spot with heat tape (on a thermostat and checked with a heat gun)? Or is that too cool? What does that actual hot spot need to be?

Also, I've been reading that they are fed more slowly than other snakes. How slow is slow? Once every two weeks? Longer?

Thank you for any advice. I really appreciate it!
