Thinking, original thoughts anyway, is something I'm guessing is not your usual way of attaining enlightenment. It's OK though, the world needs followers. Lots of college kids talk real big, like you, and consider mere words offensive, as you do, are here for a while, then gone; never to be heard from again.

Like you?

Again. You can address me as what I've stated before. Anything else will be considered offensive language.

At least your grasp of the obvious is in no need of improvement.

Did you, by chance, go to rutgers? And you're what, not quite as old as a good bottle of scotch?

Take offense where you will, the choice to do so, as always, is yours.

I'm sorry but can everyone just stop and try to help the OP out so they can get their burm healthy instead of arguing.

EAC I actually tried to take this to PM but since there is no Audience, Sir Wilomn will not respond, hmm.

Well kid, I don't know who you pm'd but it wasn't me.

I'm not much for pms anyway.

There IS the ignore function, I'm sure someone can tell you how to use it. Hey, could pm a mod again, they all know how.

Making accusations of PMing a mod? Far cry there. My claim to messaging you? Not so much. Perhaps a screen shot of my sent folder will show people how much of an honest joy you are. It's not nice to tell stories.

The internet is a valuable resource if used properly - you can find sources other than bill and :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: over at want to know more .com. Most of my information searches land on Google.com/scholar the peer reviewed source of information.

My burmese has never had a personal account of getting sick, but from seeing numerous posts about sick burmese across forums, the majority of the problems seem to fall around RI issues, with most keepers using improper husbandry as the key issue to their problem.

Dont belittle my age - that's a biased argument for someone who thinks they are always in the right because age is on their side. I've done my studies in college, preformed years of research in the field of biology, and now contribute to society in a working role as a chemist . . . but again . . . I'm young, therefor I know nothing. This is now the second time this has come up? Feeling old or we Wilomn?

Pitty.

I received no notification of this being sent and I don't hover around my inbox. As I said, I'm not much for pms, especially from little pissants with attitude problems.

Seems you have some personal issues that need some attention. Have fun with that, kid.

HOLY CRAP such immaturity for a couple adults!!!!!! Shut up!!!!!

To actually add to the topic,

When I first read your description the burn sounded bad, but those pics really don't look too bad to me. I don't have experience with Burma but I do know after a ball python lays her eggs, sometimes it is quite alarming to see how deflated they become.

No worries though, usually after a few meals they start plumping back up. After my balls lay their clutches I start them pretty slow back on food. I usually offer a weaned rat a day after. I give a weaned rat every 5 or so days and then slowly bump them back up. Seems to work for me and my snakes.

Also, did you actually see any mites on your burm, or did you just suspect them?

Either way once you've got all the husbandry spot on, any issues should sort themselves out. Any that don't, you can see a vet for help.

Oh and after going back and re-reading your post, it sounds like maybe the scar on her face could be from rubbing on her enclosure? The drool could be result of the scab maybe,

I'd think with a snake that big it would be pretty easy to notice the signs of RI. I would just keep a very close watch. And you know, once you get her feeding regularly, a vet visit is not a bad idea. Just to make sure everything is in check.

She does have mites- i've been treating them for a few days. First spray I got didn't work so i'm trying another. The scab is almost gone, parts of it fell off and it doesn't look nearly as bad now. She's also stopped rubbing on the enclosure. Once I can get these mites gone i'm thinking it should be okay. Thanks for all the help.
