Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

Behira looks unfazed by her large rat the other day. She's getting big. Katie held her for the first time in a long time today. Was amazed at how thick and heavy she was. My mom held her the other day too. She was sitting down and was a little overwhelmed by her size. She's nervous about her getting bigger, but I reminded her she's a sweetie and that she's the same Behira that was 400G when we got her. We will see. I hope she keeps interacting with her, it's good for both of them.

My mother came up today and held Behira again. This time standing up and in the middle of the reptile area. This way, Behira could climb on her, but was not trying to get in cabinets and around chairs, etc. It went better.

I cleaned Behira's tank today and got some good shots of her. She's doing great.

For reference, that's a 6X2X1' Boaphile she is in. That side (water bowl to the left is 3X2'). She's getting big. Weighed in dry today at 2,580G. A peak weight for her.

Thank you! Behira is doing great. I am glad I moved up to Large Rats. Although, she was a little disappointed Sunday night when Jeff got his small rat and she has to wait until next week.

Kam - my mother appreciates the comments. She's still a little nervous with the size Behira is now and will be, but she's coping well.

Katie offered to hold Behira today while I cleaned her water.

My two ladies!

Katie is looking stunning as well. Beautiful lady holding a beautiful boa.

Behira got her second large rat tonight. She's never struck so hard. It felt like the recoil on a .40 caliber. I wasn't expecting it. She was facing towards the front of the tank and I was putting the rat in from the side. She didn't seem to see it and then BAM! She struck sideways, nailed it, and coiled. Katie was 20 feet away in the other part of the room and couldn't see what was happening. She thought Behira had fallen out of the tank striking at the rat the BAM was so loud.
