Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

Behira shed yesterday (7-4-21). That's a whopping 77 days since last shed. Her previous sheds were an average of 46 days apart. Huge jump for her. She's looking happy and healthy. She ate on 7-1-21, but still had a great shed. I don't worry too much with her in shed and knew she was about 3 days away and also not in blue anymore. She had only had one rat in the previous 9 weeks anyway due to my health issues and then the finished basement/reptile area flooding. I know a fast here and there won't hurt her, but want to get everyone back on track soon, Behira included. Unfortunately, there is a lot more that has to be done and redone in the basement now.

At least I feel better about her shedding issues and can knock that off my worry list.

I don't have pictures, but we also had some new friends over. One was so excited to the meet the reptiles, the other (her boyfriend) was indifferent, but excited to show them to his girlfriend (having met a few already), and the other was his (the boyfriends) sister. She was pretty skeptical, to say the least, especially about the snakes. When I took Behira out, and she saw her size, she freaked out a little and walked away. However, curiosity got her and after watching her brother's girlfriend handle Behira for a bit, couldn't believe how calm she was. She ended up touching her and then holding her tail, and then holding Behira!

She went on to hold Feliz, Solana, Yafe, and Figment as well.

Another convert thanks to Behira and the rest of the crew.

You, Katie, and your critters are all awesome ambassadors for our hobby Dave!

Amazing!!! So glad to hear it :)

So glad behira spreading her sheds out now Dave,
Fingers crossed they soon get your snake room sorted without too much disruption [emoji1696][emoji7][emoji7]

Behira is getting some size to her now. Haven't weighed her in a while, but she's looking healthy and happy.

My niece, Meghan, came over and we went to Riverside Reptiles for a snake event. That was pretty cool, but I'll post more on that under that thread.

She also spent some time with Behira, Jeff, and Yafe.

Both Meghan and Behira are growing!

Despite feeding less frequently due to basement disasters this summer, Behira is growing. She is now 2,330G dry versus about 2,180G at the end of March.

She's doing great despite all the disruptions this summer.

That's because she's got a great 'daddy' looking after her & all the others. ;) Hang in there, the disruptions won't be forever. It's just that kind of a year...:rolleyes:

Katie held Behira a bit yesterday. Please pardon the basement, which is hopefully getting put back together soon. We are still organizing after the sewage leak!

Behira is really getting some size to her now and even Katie will admit that Behira is incredibly calm and deliberate. You can tell from Katie's smile she's enjoying Behira as much as Behira is enjoying Katie!
