Burmese question, and a little picture!
So.. my Burmese came to me after fighting a nasty case of mouth rot and a very bad RI. So he was really underweight. I was just wondering the weight he should be at at about 6 feet? If not how big his girth should be. Since I got him he's put on almost 800 grams and he's now at... 1,470. Still underweight but he's coming back. 

I'm going to add a full body picture tomorrow. He's picture shy..lol. I'm surprised i got that one TBH.
Any tips would be nice guys!

From the picture he looks pretty good. You say he's at 1470 grams now? What size prey are you feeding him and how often?

Re: Burmese question, and a little picture!
Yup. I just weighed him before. He was at 1,800 almost but he went on a slight strike trying yo get him to pre-killed. He gets a medium to large rat once a week on Fridays. It actually puts a good bulge in him to.

I would recommend giving him 2 large rats per week.
One a week is a pretty small meal for a 6 footer. He ain't no bp...
