Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Well, it seems Behira still has that crazy hunger drive. Sunday night I offered food and as soon as the drape came down, she nailed both doors a total of 3X. Hard and fast too. She seemed to stun herself, so when I offered the rat, she wasn't too quick to strike. Ultimately, she did strike and eat the F/T medium rat, but not without drama.
A quick inspection today and she's no worse for the wear, but I am not sure we will continue to be so lucky.
I discussed with Katie, who made the drapes for all the boas, and I think we decided to do two drapes/two rods. One for each 3X2' side of the tank (her tank is a 6X2' which is 2 3X2' Boaphiles bolted together). This way, I can look in before offering and see which side she is on, and then take off the drape and put the rat in the other side.
I hope this will help, but I honestly don't know. I am running out of ideas and really don't want her getting hurt. Additionally, my brain knows she cannot get through those acrylic doors, but I am not sure my heart does! Having my big girl striking at me at close to face level gets my heart going for sure.

That IS pretty rough to have such a strike at face level... Kinda rough on her face too, so I hope the drapes work for you. I'm glad my BCI was never at face level-
it was hard enough to lift up the top of her tank with a big BCI aiming for the hemostats holding her rat, especially since she considered ALL motion to be fair game.
(I miss that big "monster".)

She's getting so big! Do you feel two water bowls helps add to the humidity levels??

Thanks Ckuhn003! Yeah, she's growing all right.
Yes, the two water bowls increase humidity a bit more than 1, but not crazy or anything. I want extra humidity for her with the frequent shedding, but that's improving.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
She’s looking good! Imo, the indirect sunlight compliments snakes’ colors a lot more than direct sunlight anyways. It can still be nice getting that sheen, but the indirect just brings out more character.
