Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

Behira was in her dark phase today. I love taking pictures of her with this contrast, especially on her head.

I got a video too. She's so gentle. This shows the contrast well, but do not feel compelled to watch the whole thing. :).

What a crazy feeder this girl is. She smelled the rat as soon as I got in the room and was ready.

First she nailed the acrylic door as I took down the drape (quickly - which usually works). Then she nailed the tongs and door and I dropped the rat. Then she struck again as I picked up the rat. Then, finally, she nailed the rat and gobbled it down.

Well, keeps my adrenaline going anyway! She's getting bigger and stronger and wow can she hit hard.

Additionally, today is 13 days from last shed and no signs of shed. Her color is bright and no "blue" yet. I am optimistic we are beginning to break to the cycle. She sure isn't feeding/eating like a snake I need to worry about!

I suspect boas are all reincarnated boxing champions? :D

Today is day 20 since Behira's last shed. She went into blue a few days ago and is still in blue. I am pretty sure this shed is going to be farther from her last shed than her shed prior.

Fingers crossed.

Otherwise, she is doing great. She will eat after she sheds.

Hey, that's cool...a little longer cycle, so maybe now her sheds will start to normal out- I hope so, & maybe you can stop worrying. Apparently she's just got a terrific growth spurt going on. How long now since she's been doing this? (I know it "feels like forever")

I am not too worried because she's pounding food and seems fine otherwise. Plus everyone told me to STOP WORRYING unless she stops eating. I listened.

October was her first shed at a little more than a month and then a skew of them at about 17-19 days.

Last one was 21 days. This one looks longer. She seems to be staying in blue longer and going into blue later. All good signs.

I'm sure she (or rather, her body) knows what it's doing.

Fingers crossed she's starting to break that cycle mate

Behira shed yesterday - 23 days from prior shed. It's moving in the right direction. Last 4 sheds by days; 17, 18, 21, 23.

I'll take it.

She looks beautiful and I'll offer food tonight.
