    my problem is that I travel a lot

    but all the cracking sound started after the last shed . I kept her with a friend of mine but he didn't pay attention to the humidity ( when I came back the shed was in pieces and she was really thirsty )





    there is no mucous on her mouth or in nostrils .. she was yawning a lot that's how I'm sure

    Thank you for your help
    Yesterday I couldn't stop thinking about her
    But now I'm really comfortable




    Hopefully this is mostly the result of your friend not paying attention to the humidity when you were gone. I wish you (& especially this snake) all the best, but I do
    agree with the others who said this is not a beginner snake. As for her (or his) health, it bodes well that you aren't seeing bubbles or mucus...do raise the humidity,
    this is not a desert species...and if their respiratory tissues dry out, they will be more prone to illness. This is really important.

    As the snake's size (& strength) increases, for your safety you should have a trusted friend (& preferably one with snake experience) right there with you

    when any handling or feeding is done. Snakes are very strong for their size & very motivated when it comes to food: they don't rely on vision to recognize

    their prey...they tend to grab whatever is "warm & wiggling" & the more you struggle, the harder they hold on, as they are waiting for you, or rather what

    they see as "prey" to STOP moving so they can consume. Snakes are NOT logical about what they can or cannot swallow...they make a snap decision, &

    just try (once it's dead) to see if it fits. So just because you won't fit, please do not assume that a snake of this size will just love you as their keeper and

    never try...they can make feeding mistakes, and if you're away frequently, they also won't really recognize you so much as if you handled them often. As

    these large snakes grow, eventually you will need MORE than just one friend on hand for safety. I wish you the best...I'm not saying you cannot do this, but

    please think in terms of your own safety. Large snakes can be very hard to un-wrap by yourself. And if you end up making "news", not only won't it end

    well for this beautiful snake, but accidents that get reported tend to make more people afraid & hating all snakes.

    And by the way...:welcome:

    I even struggled with Dwarf Burm who topped out at 7' !!

    So fast and inquisitive yet decent sized and strong !!

    Crazy feeding instinct as well !!

    Quite a challenge taking on a full sized Burm to be honest ..

    If you care about the Animal I would find it a home with someone that is around everyday. Your friend not paying attention to it is the first indication this snake will suffer sooner or later. You traveling means you don’t have the time for a pet right now. Im not being mean to you but for the sake of this gorgeous creature find him a dedicated keeper before he suffers. Best of luck.
