I agree, a nice albino burm

[operation_sssss]

Look like an albino burm to me

Sorry did not kno others had already posted did not mean to jump on the wagon there

[joe&beth]

Thats what I figured. Now, the next question..... does she looked starved or underfed? Aterall there has been much debate about her growth over the last year.



Joe

thats one way to go from a great $5000 5-6ft albino ball to a giant albino burm real quick

a year old burm that isn't able to take rabbits I think might be considered small.

Yeah, well ya get what ya pay for. (she was $100.00 and not knowing any better............ )


I know one thing for sure, we will not be purchasing anything else for that dealer.

Now its up to my wife as to if she'll keep her or look at trading or selling her. We've talked about a red tail or something that maxs around 9-11 feet. But it not easy as the snake is a real sweetheart tempermant wise.

I wish you the best Joe, but yeah boost up those feedings something 2X+ the size of their head for a meal is pretty common and being young and small she will probably want regular on top of that (my large boas only munch every 3-4 weeks on big rabbits or multiple cavys) but will give you a break by shedding often.

I have one last question and I will let this thread die. Since I have started feeding my snake rats (first one Wed) how often should I feed? Should I go to twice a week to make up for lost time or not overwhelm the digestive system and stick to once a week? It had just eaten two mice last weekend then folowed with the rat 4 days later. I have not seen any feces yet so am wondering if I should let it unload some before I offer more food. Any opinions?

BTW, Burm Baroness, it would be nice to meet some other snake fanciers in this area. Maybe we can get together at the next show in spring? Or sooner?

Take care everyone and thanks for all the help!

Burmese pythons are eating machines, you should be feeding a small rabbit rather then mice every feeding.
Would probably take 20 mice to fill a 4ft burm.

I would suggest a 2-3 rat single feeding about every 7 days but it could be extended to maybe 10 days if it seems to regularly be a 3 rat feeding.

[burmer]

I would do 2 rats every 4-5 days for a little while just to bulk it up. Then go to one large rat a week when it has some more bulk to it.
