Behira left me a bunch of urine and urate and a little poop. She weighed in at 965G, but I bet she's a little less and still has some poop left in her. Either way, she's getting fed another small rat on Sunday.
She's still doing great. Beautiful and sweet and brave. Good news: Katie say she really likes Behira now. Bad news: Katie says that the new scaleless sunglow motley corn snake hatchling, Solana (all of 8G), might be her new favorite. Frankly, I'll take it. After Behira nailed me back in February, she was not on Katie's "like" list at all. Katie was nervous she was aggressive and that we should consider not keeping her. Took a good week or two to get that off her mind and another few months of hook training to get Katie to totally calm down. I adore Behira. Does she still nail the acrylic doors sometimes when expecting food? Yes, but that's who she is and that's her feed response. I have accepted it and know that she means now harm; she just gets really excited. I try to feed her as quickly as possible and avoid her striking at anything but the rat, but it doesn't always work. Alas, I guess I just have to deal with her "eccentric' and excited food response. I can deal with that if it means having such a wonderful snake. I think Katie is on board with that too, and that makes me happy.
