The Kaiju thread - CB17 female Pearl Burmese Python
Hi everyone, new guy here from the UK
Just thought I'd say hi and share some pics of my baby Burm and update her progress. I'm currently setting up a 4 x 2 foot Vivexotic vivarium for her so I'll post pics when that's done too.
Here she is, as you can see she was tiny when I brought her home on December 17th
On January 4th
January 24th
January 30th
She's been growing well on a weekly defrost rat sized by her girth. I only plan to do this until she reaches a year old though and then move to feeding every 2 weeks and so on.
I'm also hook training her but I have to say she's been really docile since I got her so the breeder must have done a great job. She's hissed somewhat but she's never struck at me or taken a defensive pose which is good.
I'm bathing her 3 days after feeding and she had been pooping afterwards but she hasn't pooped for the last 3 rats, although she has passed urates.
I've been told not worry too much about this as there's no lump left in her so I guess she's using it all to grow. Or shes holding until she sheds next but there's no signs of blue yet. She's only shed once in my care on January 2nd.
I've kept corns as a teen but this is my first Burm at 34 so I'm looking forward to talking with you guys and learning a lot more. If you've got any advice go right ahead and let me know... Cheers ladies and gents
