Re: Adelita - 2019 Hypo Sonoran
Thanks guys, and thanks for the tip Caitlin!
I was worried that it might be a stress rub at first, back in February. Given that the rubbing now seems to only happen a) in the spring and fall and b) when she's fed, though, I think it might be more of a hunting-based thing. I'm pretty sure I read something in one of Vin's books that said peak Sonoran boa feeding season is in the late summer-fall, so that would explain the seasonality of the pushing. She was also fed a little more frequently in October (back to the 7-10 day schedule), since the mice I had on hand were undersized for her and it looked like she was getting a wee bit skinny. It looks like the above activated her hunting behavior a little too well and created a pushy little monster!
Her natural curiosity seems to be a factor as well. When I leave one of her cage doors open so she can sit on the ledge and look out into the room, she calms down immediately and stops pushing. On top of looking for food, it seems like she just wants to be able to poke her head out of her cage and hang out. Not sure how I'm going to deal with that last part long-term. For now, I may leave her cage door open while I'm in the room at night -- my flat's ambients are right in the cool side/night drop range, so it doesn't hurt to leave her door open a bit.
The "bumpers" didn't end up working out (see below), so I'm treating her nose and trying a little something different tonight. She'll get what will hopefully be her last meal of the season ahead of cool down tomorrow. Hopefully she'll calm down after that!

Re: Adelita - 2019 Hypo Sonoran
Managed to get some nicer pictures of Adelita that better show her off post-shed. She's looking quite lovely right now, and her scales still feel and look fresh and smooth. It was a much nicer shed than her previous one, all in all.
