Hmmm.....63 degrees is pretty cool, but a short duration of cold (i.e. a few hours) should not induce an RI if it is a healthy baby IMO. It was shipped overnight delivery so it could not have been cold for too long. I used to keep my bps and my boa outside and one weekend when I was away in January the power went out. I live in north florida but still, the lows were in the 40s for the whole weekend and when I came home all the snakes were practically frozen. I warmed them up gradually and left the temp slightly higher than average for about a week following, and none developed an RI. I'd put him in your Q/T area and crank the heat tape up an extra couple degrees :-)
