I love burms, and having owned many BCIs and many burms I prefer the burms.

My advice is to get the burm. They are great animals. If you don't power feed him, he should grow at a manageable rate and to a manageable size.

A good feed schedule is one suitable sized prey item every week. Burms, for the most part, are garbage disposals. They will eat and eat and eat and eat and they will use all that food to grow mega fast if you let them. However, one suitable sized prey item every 7 days is not detrimental to the animal. You're not going to be starving him and he will be healthier in the long run.
Thanks!

I am pretty much almost sold on the burm. They arent that much more expensive than BCI's so I think im gonna go for it

Thanks for the tip on feeding, I had a plan that if I got one (which would be a baby) that I would feed it every 5 days until it was older, but instead 7 days sounds a lot better.

Besides, I think every 5 days is edging on power feeding lol!

Thanks!

I think im going to declare it...

Burm wins lol!
