.....and in the mean time? Im in the process of acquiring a normal male albino through a buddy that has recently produced numerous clutches and was able to select a very strong feeder. It's not that I just tossed in the towel with Dex I tried EVERYTHING I possibly had with that worm to try and break his habits, it's just that his personaility belonged in the hands of someone with a LOT of experience with Burms. The guy who took him agreed as well as several breeders I talked to.

It happens and it sounds like you chose what was best for the animal. As you know my big boy is at my local zoo and we could go and look at them anytime and he has a gigantic room with a huge pond a rock Cave and everything else for his retirement years. I look forward to seeing what you get & if that falls through let me know my friend has about 30 hatchlings and they all eat like Monsters.

3rd day of 10min handling session and now he crawls into my hand when I open the Enclosure Door. No more Hissing or Flight/Fight. He’s as calm and inquisitive as a Puppy. Just like my Old Boy.. love him. Real sweetie [emoji1373][emoji1373]

Such a handsome fella! My burm days are over, but I sure enjoy when y’all share photos. :)

Jock is 6 months next week. He has his days when he rather stay in his Hide, but all in all he is really chill once I get him out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0b6104cfe2.jpg

When it comes to morphs, that has got to be the most beautiful one I've ever seen in a Burm. Hands down !!!
