i try yesturday give it a pinkie(dead) but was afraid of it..and isnt eat it..now i will leave him 2-3 days and i will try again.i hope eat it..
Today was shed..tomorow i will post fotos..

congrats on the new purchase? have you had any experiance with large constrictors before? (i sure hope ya have)

Yup.. hope you know what you're in for. Burms are awesome animals. I hope you mean you offered it a rat pink, since a mouse pink is way too small for even a newborn burmese.

Good luck with him.

i have a ball python to..i havnt mine big constrictors but my neighbour has 2 burmese one 2.5meters and one 3meters and i handle them a lot of times per week about 6 months now..i never had a problem with them;)

yes a pinkie rat...

Where did you get him, he is adorible. I was wondering if you went through a petstore or a breeder.
Congratulations
Rusty

Very nice shots - congrats on the new python! And welcome to the site! Good thing you have a neighbor with experience - but always feel free to drop by here and ask any advice you might need - Rusty, Kara or any of our other members keeping/breeding/rescuing larger constrictors are great sources of information and advice.

Very nice.

thanks guyz!:D
i buy him for a petshop here we havnt any breeders...
the negative is that i dont know it's sex...:hmm:

5lb of poop!:eek:

You ought to check out some of the threads in the Pythons > Giants forum here as well - a number of great shots.

i have seen all the threads in Giants forum:)
i cant wait see my baby get big!

Cool beans - Kara (KLG) has some of the most amazing specimens of any given species you're likely to see. We try not to be too jealous of her, but it's a hurculean struggle :P

i see them!beautifull snakes!;)

I love them big boogers. I hope I didn't come across as cold, you just never know. Some people just think it's a cute baby and they'll dump it at the zoo (so they think) when it gets too big. Best of luck.

Yeah no more dumping, I think at this point I am getting the phone calls in my sleep..lol

Yeah I hear you Rusty.. usually every couple of weeks we get a guy who dumps his (often several) snakes on us at work. Once a guy brought a bag with three burms and a boa shoved in it. Last week it was an albino burm and a colombian BCI. I don't get it.. I would never buy an animal that I didn't intend to care for the rest of it's life.

i will never give him to anyone..i will have him even if its 20ft;)

today i see that he had a bad shed..only the point of the head has go off..:(

the temps are good the humidity to.. i thing to do him a hot bath but i am afraid that he will stressed..what do you think that i must do...?
today i handle him and isnt seems stresed,but if i do him a bath and he will stressed i will have another problem to.. with feeding..he hasnt eat yet..:worry:

Certainly not a hot bath. Soak him in lukewarm water for an hour. Make sure the water is shallow so the snake doesn't have to swim. Put some paper towels or rags in there so the snake has something to rub the loose skin off on.

how he will seat one hour in in water... he will want leave...

Often folks will use a bucket with lukewarm water (if it feels WARM to your fingers it is almost too hot for the snake) with something to serve as a lid (screen etc).

A plastic container with a snap on lid works great for soaking smaller snakes like young burms and ball pythons.

I don't put anything inside the box for them to rub on, after an hour of soaking almost of of the shed practically slides off of them.

You can put the box inside the animals cage while they soak so it stays warm.

Good luck.
