Well here we go with the conflicting story's again... I thought if they were in to large of a cage they become insecure?

The trouble is your statements are slightly contradictory. On one hand you're saying you don't want to power feed and that's good, on the other hand some of what you're saying suggests you're feeding him small meals so that he grows at a pace you can cope with and not at his natural growth rate which is not so good.
Whats a natural growth rate for him?

Quote:
He should be fed appropriatelysized meals at the right frequency. No more, no less.
Whats are appropriately sized meals at the right frequency for him?

You've also very clearly said that if he gets above 10' you'll have issues housing him but there's a chance he might get bigger than this so you need a contingency if he does.
It's not an exact measurement for me... It may be 12 feet... I don't know... If I have to move when the time comes, then so be it! I will cross that bridge when I come to it...

I get where you're coming from with the small snake thing but sometimes we have to let our circumstances dictate what we keep not our wants. I'd love a Burm-ain't going to happen though.
That's you! and your not fully aware of my circumstances...

Finally from a safety point of view read the keeping giants sticky on the giant python section and also Dave Himself's thread on the discussion of safe handling of giants. A 10' + retic is to be respected once he gets that size and it's not just you that will need to be comfortable and more importantly confident in handling him.
Ya I'v read most of this "twice now" I'm not sure what your point is here!
