Re: Thinking about getting a burm
Who is going to pay to feed the snake? Adult BCI are going to need rabbits for food.. it isn't cheap. Buying the animal is often the least expensive part.

thats not true, not all BCIs will get big enough to eat rabbits or need them. nto even females. you can keep a BCI on the largest size rat.
Re: Thinking about getting a burm
I would think a 9' snake is pushing the limits of rats.
I suppose a male would be fine with big rats.
Even so, jumbo rats aren't cheap (esp for a young person with no job!)

We have 9' females (holy crap are they HUGE) that do great on large/jumbo rats. Boas don't have a mega-metabolism & do beautifully on big rats.

Very, very, very true!!! Especially if there's no local source & you have to have them shipped. Fuel surcharges SUCK! :P
Just my $.02

Re: Thinking about getting a burm
Well, I'm glad my dum can eat jumbo rats and not rabbits.. I assume a dum would have similar metabolism as a red tail.
I can't avoid the rabbits with the male burm though.. lol.
