However, given time they get to a good size.

Thank you for the compliments on Behira. She’s a wonderful snake.

I don't plan on power feeding. I would like my Boa to live longer than 5 years.

Behira is really coming on well dave, it's so good when they reach there milestone weights knowing that she's not been power fed, they really are better slow grown
My adult female last week coiled it for an hour and she had it face first and still didn't eat it, soon as I slid the door closed she opened her mouth and let go still in her coils, went up two hours later and she was still searching for it, even tho it's was In Her coils, I tried to release it but man she wasn't having any of it, so strong

Behira looking good as usual. :) Behira is about the same size as my Tirel now, but a much lighter individual. :P

Hopefully she'll outgrow that feeding habit as she gets bigger. XD Boas seem to go through periods of odd behavior every once in awhile before going back to normal.

Two pictures of Behira today, one with my hand for reference on her size. I think she's a good 5FT now.

She’s beautiful David. Always enjoy watching her progression.

Thank you, as always. She's truly awesome.

If you want to see the size difference between Phantom and Behira check out the beginning of the thread and/or Feliz's thread. He's 330G now and I just posted a picture of him in the same size container. He looks tiny comparatively.

They do grow slowly so you have time to adjust. Also, I've noticed with Behira, she looks more olive/green colored and a little darker as she's aged. Not much, it's subtle, but especially when in her dark phase, it shows. Will be interesting to see Phantom at size too.

Behira looking stunning dave

Got a few more pictures of Behira the other night and a short video showing her gentle nature and how she's starting to fill out her tank (at least the one side of the 6X2').
