I keep my Argentine rainbow boa at a high of around 27/28C thus reflecting the lower temps found there.
Was wondering has anyone else got an ARB? So glad i got my girl when i did, wonderful tempremant, gorgeous and no problem at all. Very underated boas but seem to becoming more popular and so gorgeous already no need for morpsh (although know Bricks working on some).

I understand what you are saying about the temps but I have kept argentines before and had no problems so a general temp of 85-88f would be fine but you can keep these higher at 90f if needed.
