I have a burm. It's not as easy as it sems. I say this because right now Akasha is right 8 1/2 feet in length and her choice of food changes as the seasons do. For the longest, I was wondering why she wouldn't eat rabbits (it's cheaper to buy a rabbit than a ton of rats) but instead wanted a feast of rats. Well I later found out that during the wintery months were most snakes stop eating or slow down. Burms don't require a large meal such as rabbit but a couple of monster rats will do just fine. Burms can be the best lap dog there is until feeding time. You need atleast to extra set of hands during feeding just be on the safe side. Akasha's nickname is "Da Garbage Disposal" because she will eat anything that given to her. I notice that it was imperative to have an extra set of hands when I almost lost mine trying to ger out of her feeding tank. Burms are easy to get ahold of and raise but they are more prone to colds and RI. I have been battling a cold with Akasha for awhile now. But all in all burms are a nice snake. They aren't for the inexperience snake hobbist and certainly not for the squimish. This is so because their food will vary. Be prepared to spend so money on food. Also make sure that your enclosure is good enough for the burm to stretch at least have of it's body out.
