I have 16 species of the boiga genus rigth now, and they all allmost never lie on the bottom. If you ask me it´s just about having your terrarium warmed up the right way.
Many boiga´s dont like to hang in a branch, but lie on it.Offcourse branches of this size are hard to use in a terrarium.
I solve this problem by making plateaus.
By having this plateaus at different levels in a high terrarium the animals can choose the temperature they prefer.
If I see a boiga laying on the bottom I know it will shed his skin soon (more moist on the bottom), or it´s unhealthy.
I use real plants in all my boiga enclosures including an enclosure containing a 2,5 meters female boiga cynodon.Using the right strong plants (for example ficus species) and letting branches go trough this plants works very well here.

Greetings

Jelmer
