Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

Behira looked particularly good the other day when I took her out. Really light. Thought I would post pics.

Thank you, Gio.

Feliz is doing well also. I need to get some pics of him soon. Been very busy lately.

Beautiful Behira!

A few more of Behira. Notice she's in her darker phase and her head is very dark.

Behira is coming out of blue and will shed soon. I skipped her feeding tonight.

However, I did take her out today because her light on the cool side needed to be changed. The fluorescent bulb burned out.

She was fine when I touched her with the hook and even with my hand. However, when I went to pick her up, HIIISSSSSSSSSSSS!

What a bluffer. I picked her up, put her in her holding container, changed the light, and put her back with no issues.

The bigger she gets though the more she's testing my resolve :). Seriously though, she showed not other signs of defensiveness. She didn't go into "S" position/strike mode, and didn't really tense up. It was more of a, "really Dad? Don't you know I am shedding soon and this isn't comfortable!"

Bluffing or not, the hiss of a good-sized boa really gets your attention. :D I remember when the BCI I used to have would do that every once in a great while- she sounded so evil, but never even tried to bite- I'd just pet her coils for a minute or so, then she was fine to pick up & cuddle. It was like she temporarily "forgot" she knew me, & the touch reminded her that indeed she did, & that I was nothing to fear. It did catch me off-guard a little though, because she wasn't even in shed when she did that- at least, nothing obvious. It was more like a rare "mood". :snake: But who wants a snake without quirks anyway?
