Burmese python rescue help.

any pics of your burm?

If he sheds soon, that will help a lot with the mites. I had my Ginger on paper towels when she had mites.

Walmart always sells big Rubbermaid tubs for storage, and they are very inexpensive. Of course, you'll have to make oxygen holes and use luggage straps.

FYI.....if u go to a Rabbit show, do NOT tell anyone that you're going to feed the bunny to your snake.....you'll get lynched, lol. I'm just kidding with you....

Sounds like you're doing your best with this big boy! That's all that anyone could ever ask of you. Good job [emoji216]

Looking forward to updates, more pics, and the name!

A Burm rescue is a big deal.

https://youtu.be/xA10psS1IBs There's a video of him. There were small dogs nearby so I put him in this little fence I have. I decided to name him Helios after the Greek sun god. I'm ordering retired breeders from monster feeders. Hoping he'll eat them.

Helios is handsome! So glad you took him in.

I'm curious. Is he scared of the little dogs?
VPI has a paper somewhere (IIRC, it is on their site) stating that Burmese tend to be naturally terrified of even tiny dogs. Apparently, small wild dogs would run in packs of a hundred or more in their native habitat - at that point the giant snake became the prey. Not sure if the wild dogs are now extinct there, or not.

What a handsome boy, and I love the name!

He does actually get defensive around small dogs and even large dogs. I always thought it was because he saw them as a menu item. Thanks for the info i haven't heard or read that anywhere yet! All of this knowledge is AMAZING! :bow::bow: Also thanks for the compliments peoples!

He just pooped for the first time since i acquired him. Its orange. What does that mean? (im a little scared,should i be?)

Learned its normal from another site. Feeding jumbo rats were a success. Guess he only likes them. Mites are now 100% gone. he is now 100% healthy. now for the happy part to come back from my step mothers.
