Glad she's getting past the point where she's stressing you about shedding too often.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Behira shed last night or this morning. That makes 30 or 31 days. Either is the longest she's gone between sheds in a year and that number is improving.
She will eat tomorrow night.
She's doing great and looking great.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Behira is hovering around 2KG (weighed her dry today at 1,980G) and still annihilating F/T medium rats.
I plan to feed her mediums for a while and not move up to large rats - which as high as I plan to go with her (I will adjust frequency to maintain body condition versus feeding larger meals that are more fatty). I am still feeding every 10-14 days because of her shedding issues, which are improving, and he body condition is excellent and there is no need to rush her.
I tried something new when feeding her tonight. I peeked in the tank right before I turned the lights off (they are on a timer but I manually shut them off a minute or two before they would normally go off in the hopes of catching Behira off guard and keeping her from nailing the doors). Behira was on the left side of the tank. I hit the lights, went to the right side of the tank, dropped the drape, and used the center divider in the tank to hide from her view a little. Then I opened up the right side quick, stuck the tongs in with the medium rat, and BAM! She hit the rat instead of the doors.
Not sure this will work every time, but the more I can keep her from nailing the doors, the happier I am .

Fingers crossed she keeps up the normal shedding frequency for you! That was really bizarre.

Thank you Kam! It is a 6X2' tank and that's a big water bowl - she can fit in it at 5 1/2 feet. Perception is everything, LOL.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
I just noticed that Behira's thread (this thread) has over 100K views! WOW.
Thank you guys!
I feel I post too much of her, but if you guys are reading/viewing, that's awesome.
I partly post to share her and hopefully help others with their boas (same with Jeff and Feliz) but also because it's a life journal for Behira (and me).
It's amazing how far she's come since I got her (she's grown a lot) and how much more she has to go!
Also, we (Me and Behira) have a special bond and she's my therapy snake (not literally, but she always cheers me up).
Thank you all again and I'll keep posting here (and on my other threads) as long as you keep looking!
