    from everything ive been reading ive realized that im prolly not gonna be able to have this snake as a "pet" but more as just having it and giving it a good life. they said it used to be hand tame but since last winter he has become aggressive but that mite just be because of being hungry. if i was able to get him tame again then that would be freakin sweet :banana: but who knows how he'll act. and ive put a lot of thought into how i would start the feeding again. first i would just leave him alone for a week or so and let him get used to his new and better enviroment. then first feed would be a mediumish rat just to make sure he actually eats then 5 days later give him a bigger rat and progress accordingly until he's become a proven eater and then start up a normal feeding schedule which im thinking will probably be bunnies by that time. but any ideas and input is more then welcome because i obviously need the help.


    one problem still remains though, my landlords approval :(

    I agree with points in both sides of the argument. But just reading the condition of the snake really makes this an easy decision. Yes, burms do get big and they grow relatively fast, but other than their size I do not see very much difference in how I take care of my blood python or even my ball pythons. Just respect the animal and the fact that he could grow to be very large and you should never have a problem. Please save this poor snake. Even if you only have limited knowledge, it would be WAY better than someone who knows everything but does not care one bit. And as for handling, just start stick training him till you can get him used to coming out of his cage. Most of my experience with aggressive burms showed that outside of the cage they calm down a lot. Start with that and he should mellow out within a few weeks. Good Luck:gj:
