    I would think that snake could eat large or jumbo mice, no problem. How do you prepare your frozen mice? Whatever you do, don't boil them LOL. I just watched a YouTube video on how to boil your rodent to prepare it for feeding LOL. Personally I would set it out at room temp until it's completely thawed (but no longer), then warm to 100-110F using an incubator, lamp, or warm water. And I like to feed late at night, my snakes won't eat early in the AM.

    Understood and im not trying to be mean, but its all off the wall...For someone that supposedly has a Boa there seems to be no common snake sense at all, not even about husbandry or if the burm is ok right now or not. But im out, nobody can save everything and I can only waste my breath so long.

    Re: My baby Burmese wont eat

    They usually take a while to settle in. I recommend waiting. Also, is it shedding? Shedding sometimes causes snakes not to eat, not when they're eyes are covered.
