Thanks Richardhind1972!
I am usually more attracted to color morphs (Shayna is an albino, Figment is purple and pink, and the geckos are bright orange, pink, and pink and yellow), but Behira looks different than anything I have. I had looked at Sunglows and Hypos, but Behira stood out. She is such an awesome snake, I have zero regrets, and frankly, think she is really beautiful in a more subtle way.
She was in her "light phase" for those pictures too. Nice light/tan head. Sometimes, her head can be almost jet black.
Forgot one picture (not with macro lens, but still cool).

The lighter coloured snakes are definitely just as nice as the darker ones,
she is so nice really glad she’s not took a chunk again since , fingers crossed it stays that way especially as she gets bigger

Between the drape, the hook training, offering her food first, and the long tongs, absolutely zero issues. She hasn't even hit the doors since the drape went up. I do offer her food first and fast and that seems to help.
Obviously, not fun to get bit by anything, but I am about 100% sure that she has zero aggression in her and that was a total feeding response bite. Hence, the hook training working so well!
She is so calm and confident when out. Not head shy, not squirmy, etc.
Really, she's totally awesome, and I can't wait until she's a nice, calm, and curious, big girl!

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
That’s good then,sounds like the patience and hard work is definitely paying off.
It’s great when they are adult and there just a nice solid muscular snake who is really relaxed when out and about with you

Hypos can have really cool color changes, especially on the head. I've always liked that about them.
Behira is looking fantastic!

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Behira has grown faster than I expected. She was about 430G when I got her in the beginning of October of 2017. I was expecting her to be about 750G after she pooped the other day.
She is 805G! Still feeding small rats (usually 70-80G now) every two weeks and will move to every 3 weeks with medium rats.
She looks amazing after her recent shed and is doing great! Her temperament is fantastic and she seems to "enjoy" being out more than any of the snakes. She's curious and never wants to go back in her tank!

Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
It’s really fun when they want to be out so often.
But I have to admit that sometimes I’m not in the mood and let them out due to a sense of obligation or I cave into the sad looks they give. But then I am quickly enjoying them and having fun and so glad I caved in.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons

2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?

Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

Really nice looking Boas!
They seem to be having a blast!
Gotta love Boa Play Time, huh? Great personalities!

Thanks! I really enjoy all of my snakes, it’s so hard to pick favorites. I’ll just say my favorite is the one I have out at the moment.
But I gotta say, there is just something about Boas that make them special, a Jen Ne sais quoi!
