Sounds like this wasn't meant to be, but BOA all the way! I love Behira to death. Coolest snake ever, as long as a crazy feed response doesn't scare you and you are happy to hook train!

BOA! BOA! BOA! BOA! BOA!

Seriously, I love my BP and my Corn snake, but Behira is the most curious, bravest, most docile/personable combo, and beautiful, snake I've ever had.

If you, or your girlfriend are worried about a BCI getting too big, either get a Dwarf species, or if it were me, I would get a male BCI.
