    We have one that has bitten Chad more than once. I wouldn't say she's aggressive, she just has an extremely strong feeding response, as dinner time has been the only time she's bitten

    Re: Aggressive burm?

    brums have a very strong feeding reflex, this should not be confused for agression. some burms can be pretty hissy but most are reluctant to bite. i haven't personaly dealt with any agressive burms since back in the days when many of them were wild caught juvi's or adults. and even then i would desrcibe most of them as more defensive than agressive. all though i would say it's pretty rare to encounter an aggressive one i'm sure they are some out there and let me tell you a pissed of 15' burm is a handfull to say the least.

    Re: Aggressive burm?

    I have an aggressive burm.. It's kind of surprising. He was aggressive as a little guy, but I believed he'd "grow out of it" as from what I was aware.. they typically do.

    He hisses like a balloon with a hole in it! lol he's quite feisty. Lately (he's nearly 7 feet) he's been calming down. He's still huffy and puffy, but he no longer attempts to bite. :] So I agree with Jason that they can be vocal, but not inclined to bite.
