I fed Behira tonight. I had taken out the two smaller hides that she really didn't fit in anymore earlier this week. This leaves her more ground space and hides that are appropriate for her on the warm side and cool side. She used to like to prop herself up on the hot side smaller hide that was towards the front of the tank and strike the doors from there. I am not saying she cannot strike the doors still, and she has from other spots, but she didn't tonight. She was around the center divide and nailed the rat on attempt number one while striking over a foot. I've never seen her strike so far. I usually get the rat pretty close and then she nails it. This time, as soon as the rat was in the tank - BAM!
Happy to have her be enthusiastic without hurting herself..
I am still considering putting up two smaller drapes - one for each side of her tank and each door. However, the past two feedings she has avoided the doors. Maybe that's progress?
I also had her out earlier today and we spent some quality time. When I put her back I got a few shots of how she's really starting to fill out her tank. She still has a ways to go, but these show her in one side of her 6X2' Boaphile, or a 3X2' floorspace.
