Your mom is so cool...and she sure doesn't look "nervous"? Just more snake to cuddle when they grow bigger.

No pictures, but Behira hit 1,500G dry yesterday! Milestone!
She eats tonight.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Well, Behira didn't eat last night. She ate early this morning.
She can be a real pain. Good thing I love her so much.
First, I go to open the doors and she strikes the acrylic. Then, I offer the rat, for about ten minutes, and nothing. Finally, my arm and hand get tired of holding the tongs and I drop the rat. 3 hours later I come back and the rat is still there with Behira watching it.
I pick it up, show her, and put it down in front of her again.
I came back this morning (early) and it was still there. I went to remove it but when shutting the door, she struck again. Geez. I offered and she struck and gobbled it down.
What a weirdo.
Either way, glad she ate.
Some snakes, like my BP and my corns, will happily eat after not striking and the food is left. Behira, who of course will be my biggest snake by far, apparently needs to be hand fed!
Oh well. She's worth it!
In all seriousness, it's important people to realize when they get a cute little boa that they need to feed it when it's a 8-12 pound and 6-7FT hungry big boa.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Congrats on the 1500g milestone! Behira is looking great and growing well Dave. You're a far more patient man than I am brother. I used to leave feeders in overnight when I had one or two snakes and it was mostly with hatchlings. I've realized with my snakes that if they don't eat right away they usually don't eat at all. Now if any of them don't take their food from tongs I leave it in the enclosure for about an hour. If it's still there after an hour I'll remove it and give it to another snake and the one that refused food has to wait until the next feeding day.

They do not grow fast if fed correctly.
However, given time they get to a good size.
Thank you for the compliments on Behira. She’s a wonderful snake.
