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.

Not often april! always.
eh unless its a ball python morph.....

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.

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!)

Hoggs are very cool for sure.. Got a gentle man wanting to trade me 4.4 for supplies.. Have to think on that one.. Traded a few JC stats fot the girl below:)

I love my hogg island.. she's an orange phase, and I can't find a male to match her anywhere.

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

K~

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.
