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.
