    Re: Did I say "Adventure"??? (A question for experienced Giant Handlers)

    I have a couple questions for you Judy , if you dont mind?

    1-- how old is this burm
    2-- how often has it been handled
    3-- is there any way of rearanging the cage to have a door on the side or back/front.
    4-- when you reach in the cage can you see the activity of the burm? IMO the most important thing of all.


    as far as bites. I have only been bitten twice once by an 6 ft burm and once by a 8 ft burm . didnt really consider them painful just annoying. one on the hand such as yours and the other on the forearm. I now people say use water ,alcohol and other methods. what worked for me was grabbing the snake right behind the jaws and putting pressure on the sides of the jaws right at the joint. didnt have to be to much either . hook training even in the most novice of hands ( when it comes to hooks not snakes) is still a good preventative measure. is there any way you could post pics of the enclosure?
