New Burm! "Dexter " the Pearl Burmese python progression thread

[CALM Pythons]

That's really what I wanted to hear from someone who actually owns a Burm. With BP's the care information is pretty straight forward because there are so many breeders and professionals, with Burms you get quite a bit of conflicting info actually. Good to know! No divider then!....makes my life a bit easier. I believe with my JCP I let her settle into the new enclosure for three days at least before I really handled her so I'll probably do the same with the Burm but it's going to be hard to do so!

Your not new at this so you will notice the signs if you need to let him be for awhile.. I always give them a few days but i handle them for 10 min when i get them of course..then that night when they are out exploring i sit in front of the enclosure and watch hahahaha. Burms are confident gentile giants. There are nippy ones as hatchlings but I gotta say, i hear that thrown around way more than ive ever seen it with my own eyes.. Then again I'll watch people that just get a snake go for it like its a dog.. I never reach over the top of them, i never go strait at them and i always keep them pointed away from me when holding them until they get a bit older and more predictable. I also use something when i go into the enclose to let them know its me. Sometimes the hook, sometimes i just pick up the hide and rub it on them. If there heads pointed away I'll actually use my own hand to rub their back, that way they know it's not feed time and they're going to be taken out. They love to huff and buff..thats just a burm. You'll have to take some videos when he is out. There my favorite specie.
