I can't remember how to embed videos. I used to know the trick but can't find how to do it now. Sorry.

I took some video of Malaki eating Tuesday and edited it down to most of the action. To answer some questions ahead of time, Malaki is about 7' long or a little longer, the rabbit was about 3 pounds and it took about 20-25 minutes from beginning to end. I strongly recommend turning the volume down. I video is great but the stock music sucks.

That's the BEST shot of the glottis that I have ever seen. Well done, my friend.

That was indeed a pretty profound shot of the glottis...i was surprised! That snake is SO cute, i just love him.
The music is okay...kind of reminds me of old nintendo games *lol*

I have to agree. The way you captured the glottis was amazing! Awesome shots. Malaki is really doing great with you guys :yes:

Excellent video even if the music was a little hypnotic :)

Hypnotic is a very kind way to put it. Lol

Great video. I have a burm just under 6.5 feet. Wonder when I should jump to rabbits

Malaki was about 6'-6" when he started eating small rabbits (1-2 pounds) and a XXXL rat. Now at about 7' he eats one medium (2-3 pounds) rabbit and it's perfect for him. He has to work for it but he always gets it down. I'd definitely suggest starting yours on rabbits now.

My only issue is this damn guy won't take frozen. I have a guy in town that will sell me 1.2-2lb rabbits for 6 bucks. Figured I wouldn't feed him for 2 weeks then try a rabbit out

Please don't put a live rabbit in with your burm. Try fresh killed, or at least stunned. A rabbit can quickly - like in the blink of an eye - cause SERIOUS if not FATAL injuries to your snake.
