Gio, took outdoor pictures a couple of weeks ago. I think you missed it. See above link.

Behira was looking good today.

She looks great dave!

I find it kind of funny that so many of your reptiles are insanely colorful... and then there's Behira. I have to admit she balances the others in your collection quite nicely. Gives your eyes a bit of a rest from all the intense colors and you can really admire her less intense colors. She's definable one beautiful snake.

16 days since shed and she seems to be getting a little darker and her belly getting a little red. She hasn't gone into blue yet, but I am not sure if this will be a longer shed cycle than last time. We will see. Either way, definitely out of the "danger zone."

Got some good shots of her with me today. Man, she's getting really heavy and the one arm photos are going to be a thing of the past soon. I am going to need Katie's help pretty soon to take pictures of us.

Behira went into Blue again the other day. She came out of it today, which is day 22 since shed. We are out of the danger zone, but I am wondering if I should feed her every 10 days again. That seemed to help.

Here she is blue (I had to change her water). She wasn't really interested in socializing, but was pretty chill about it. Not too much of a fuss and no hissing this time.

She looks great even in shed! :gj:

Behira shed today - 25 days since last shed. I am going to start feeding her more often again, or move her up a prey size. Not sure which yet. Any suggestions?

She's been eating 100-120G medium rats and she weighs about 1,900G. I was thinking of moving her up to large rats - about 170-180G but not feed more than every two weeks. Does that make sense, or better to feed mediums every 10 days?

Thank you in advance.

She's pretty much an adult at this point so I'd be more inclined to increase her prey size rather than her feeding frequency.

Personally I'd feed mediums about every 10-14 days. That's what I did with the BCI I used to have. Large rats are more fatty, not as good for your snake.
