Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

[Bogertophis]

Boas are great to cuddle with & Behira obviously knows how to charm.

Behira at almost 2.4kg dry. She's looking great, if I can say so myself.

She's an asset to any couch, that's for sure.

Just yesterday I posted to family about how my BP went from 95 grams to 620 in the span of roughly a year and how he seems so big now. And then I read over 2400 grams for a BCI and it's like, oh...

I know they're different species and all plus mine isn't even a full adult yet (not to mention his gender denotes a smaller size) but still. Mind-boggling.

She’s looking good! Growing steadily. She’s holding color really well, too, can’t wait to see her fully grown. You’ve been doing a great job working with her, too, with the ups and downs.

Behira is doing great. She's almost 2.5KG and once she reaches that I plan to switch her to large rats from medium rats. I'll feed every 3-4 weeks at that point for a while. She's been eating every 2-3 weeks on medium rats.

She's still a cuddle bug and looks awesome. She was in her dark phase today when I cleaned her tank and gave her fresh water. I got some pics and a some close ups of her head showing off the dark phase.

Looking good.

I'm not getting on the board as often but it is always nice to see boas when I do pop in.

Looking good as ever! I love how well she’s kept her colors and appearance so far!

Behira ate a medium rat tonight.

And................She shed yesterday as predicted. Not a big deal, right? A 5 year old Boa shedding? Well, this marks 139 days since last shed. The shed before was 77 days. Before that it had been as low as 17 days in the past year, as documented in this thread. Whatever seems to have been bothering her and causing her to shed more appears to be resolved! 4 1/2 months between sheds also makes sense because with all the chaos in the basement, I've been feeding less often. I hope to return to a more regular feeding regiment ASAP once the basement is fixed. You can see my other thread for the fun I am having with the contractors, but I am optimistic.

All around, good news on the Behira front.
