Behira is looking great, and so is my mom, one of my favorite snake models...

Mine too! LOVE this shot! Your mom's a natural- If you didn't know different, one would think this was her very own snake.

I think your mom has a great future in modeling snakes!

Thank you, Boger! My mother appreciates the comments. You would never know she used to petrified of snakes!

She loves them now and is both a great model and a great snake grandma.

No, no one would ever think she was once afraid of snakes. Your mom is so totally cool!

Behira on the couch. She's really getting big and strong. Still more to go too! Good thing she's so sweet and calm.

Behira looks bigger every time I take her out now. She ate earlier in the week, so I didn't weigh her, but best guess is a solid 3kg now.

I just put her adult hides in her tank and she seems to like them. Good thing she's in a 6X2', they take up a lot of room.

She is looking absolutely gorgeous! Man, she's keeping her appearance spectacularly with her age and size! Love the pic of her tail hanging, that is one stumpy female tail. lmao

Thank you. I thought I had replied to this. I really think she's doing great. Tail is definitely getting stumpy! The large rats pushed her growth into overdrive. She's gained about 500G in the past 6 months.

IN THE REPTILE AREA, WEIGHING IN AT 3KG, IT'S BEHIRA!

Here's Behira getting back in her tank after I cleaned up some urine and urate.

She was in an interesting mood today. Kind of grumpy. Didn't want to come out, was kind of jumpy and not her chill self, and huffed when I went to pick her up to put her back in her tank.

Temps have been getting cold here in CT and we had snow the other day. Maybe she's sensing it? Usually my BP, Shayna is barometer of winter weather as she goes off food many winters. Of course, she ate like a champ tonight, so who knows.

Everyone is entitled to a bad day, and if that's as bad as she gets, I am a happy camper.

She happily ate a large rat tonight, so maybe just a little hungry too.

My sister Ally is visiting for the holidays. She's sleeping in the downstairs/finished basement where the reptile area is. Well, Behira and Yafe left her some nice waste and smells to go with it to welcome her back to our house. Needless to say, some quick cleanup was necessary.

Ally held them while I cleaned. She was shocked at how much bigger Behira is. She's a good 3kg now and was about 2.5kg last time Ally was here (about 5 months ago). She's growing like a weed on the large rats.

Here are a few pics of Ally with Behira. I'll get more in the coming days (with the rest of the crew as well).

I see you come from a family of "models"- Ally looks very comfortable with the snakes.
