Re: The Burm Has Landed!
I must say, my new Burm Carl is doing fantastic (he is an Albino het Granite) and never misses a f/t meal. Dexter was rehomed to a friend in a neighboring state with extensive experience in Burms (which honestly was not what I wanted to do but instead what NEEDED to be done for the health of the animal...I sadly had no answers to his feeding problem any more) and he still stonewalls on feeding for months at a time from what I understand but is doing great overall and gets powerfed when he will take to keep weight on him in between. Glad to see he's doing alright man, your buffalo bill rat method pulled him through.
You know what I love the most about Burms?....bathroom habits. Seriously, everyone I know with retics seems to be cleaning piss every few days while Burms are more similar to a boa....taking dumps and leaving urates every few weeks or so and even less frequently at larger sizes. Low maintenance is fantastic in my book.

Sorry to hear about Dexter, but I’m glad he’s in a good place. As far as the Buffalo Bill trick goes, I’m waiting to see if I want have to revamp it in a few months want to switched to rabbits, LOL. Totally agree with the bathroom habits, I wasn’t totally sure what to expect but it has been entirely manageable. Frankly, one of my main issues with getting it Retic is all of the toilet maintenance, several people I know want to handle them without a tarp, seriously.

While I'm certainly jealous of all the available morphs that Retic owners have access to, I'm definitely not jealous of the pushing issue or the crazy amounts of fluid they expel. I just wish the damn import ban would get lifted....there are some SWEET Burms in the Philippines right now....including Pied, Scaleless and Pinstripe. If that ban ever does get lifted, or you can gain special import permission (doubtful) I'll be the first to book a flight there.

I cant help but notice that all my pictures a missing I have been linking them from my facebook album, does anyone know why that would be problematic??
Well anyway - a long overdue update, though not as "long" as I would have hoped. His growth seems to have slowed down quite a bit, in fact for a few months he was only putting on an inch to an inch.5. In March he added 3 due, in large part I'm sure, to fact that i switched to rabbits. By the way, i have been "Buffalo Billing" them with rat skin and so far so good. As of the first week of April he's 7 feet, 7 inches!
I also attempted to weigh him by weighing myself with and without him. I know it's not the most accurate, but i got 11lb which feels about right.

Its the host site you used for pics I think. When I was using Photbicket that happened. Thats why i switched to Tapatalk. It allows me to use this site just like Facebook. That way I can read through everything to and it looks like a newsfeed instead of going to each Sub Forum. It shows me the newest posts if I dont want to select what sub category.
