Just two pictures of Behira with her Dad. "Tear." They grow up so fast!

Thank you both! She's doing great. I am so pleased; being my first Boa and all.
Between all the research, this forum and help from some great Boa peeps, and a tiny bit of trial and error in husbandry (getting to know her preferences in temp - she prefers it a little cooler on the hot side), I find Boas aren't too difficult at all. I had been afraid for a long time. I have to say, the upgrade in setup/tanks to Boaphiles and to top of the line heating elements and thermostats made a huge difference as well. Makes it much easier to maintain temps and humidity. Also, all my tanks being the same design and same heating elements (although a few different sizes), with the same thermostats, has made it pretty easy to fine tune for each individual animal.
Bottom line is, I am relieved and happy she's doing so well. I am also amazed that a snake as young as her can eat every three weeks now, look as good as she does, and be as healthy as she is! Boas are pretty cool in that regard.
Also, I cannot ignore her personality. She's awesome.
Thanks again.

Behira left me a nice present this morning. She got weighed and has hit a growth spurt. She weighed in today, dry, at 1,340G.
She did not grow much from September through most of December. Maybe gained about 130G, from about 1,100G to about 1,230G. However, in the past month, she's gone from 1,230G to 1,340G. WOW. Growing girl.
Dad! Do I HAVE to stay in this container???? It's like sooooo boring in here! I know I dropped, like a totally big butt bomb, but seriously, Dad, I, like, want to come out and play.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
There's been a lot going on this week with the new addition of Toref, and work stuff, and I wasn't feeling well half the week in addition to all that. It was time for some quality time with Behira yesterday. I don't think I've had her out since Monday, or even Sunday (today was Friday!). That's very unusual. She's usually out 3-4 times a weeks. She really seems to enjoy it, I really do like our bonding time, and given how big she will be, and is starting to get, I think the bonding is important.
Pictures below.
Note: For those concerned, or who have constrictors, and may not know; Do not let a constrictor around your neck completely. Do not let them coil around. My rule is that Behira can hang on my shoulders, or lean from one side to the other with her head. However, as soon as her head touches her body in a loop, anywhere close to my neck, she gets redirected. What you cannot see in the pictures is that I have the camera/iphone in one hand, near Behira's body, her tail/lower body in the other. The moment she attempts to overlap her head and body or tightens at all, I unravel from the tail and redirect.
Even at 1,340G, not 5,000G, I want her to get used to that redirection. I also need to be aware, at all times, what she is doing when even draped over my neck. Safety first.
