I couldn't agree more with CALM, I've never seen a Burm that is stressed. I think Burms leave that issue with other species of snakes to worry about. A Burm has about 3 moods in my experience. Very docile, excuse me I'm in shed, and the unfortunate ones that never receive any owner interaction except the rare undersized meal. And those Burms aren't stressed they are the "I'm ready to kick someone's a$$" mood of Burms.
