Hi Mike,
Randall and Bob had great advice (esp. Bob's feeding tips) and I won't clutter the forum with much more of the same, but I think 1 point may profit you.
If your basis of comparison is Atheris, you may find you're keeping these Asian animals too dry. I mention this because my personal experience ran the other way ("trimmies" first), and when I branched into Atheris I kept them too humid at first (and killed a few with respiratory issues). Neonate "trimmies" are more vulnerable to dessication than even Bothriechis. Adults are more robust, of course, but...just watch their skin for signs of dryness.
Cheers,
Jimi
