Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

[dakski]

What a beautiful and calm critter. That's why I got a boa for my last snake. I want a snake to chill out and watch the game with. No can do with my pythons and bulls.

They all have their own temperaments, but in general, yeah, Boa's are pretty chill.

Behira is active the first minute or two I have her out; she likes to explore everything around her. Then, calm and chill. However, give her something to climb, and it's a different story!

It is funny how all snakes have their own personality though, even if it's often within species traits. Figment, my Hypo Lavender Corn is all over the place. He won't sit still. However, he's docile as can be. Solana, my 14G 3 1/2 month old Scaleless Corn, is calm as can be. Not darty or quick. Just calm and chill, although she does move more than say, a Boa. However, two snakes of the same species, both docile, but both with distinct character traits. I imagine as she grows, she will be even more chill.

You can't go wrong with Boa's in my opinion, assuming, you can handle the size of an adult, especially a female. By "handle," I mean both able to handle them comfortably and be comfortable yourself, but also have the space to give them what they need; a fairly large enclosure.

Behira shows so much personality for a snake. She's also very brave and I never have to worry about scarring her or getting a defensive bite. She's so damn brave. Nothing seems to make her flinch. She's confident and knows she will be a big girl.

Thank you for the comments El-Ziggy. I love her and I know you will love your BCI too!
