Oh yes, I know- I was just asking how big people individual snakes have grown within a year. As I had said before, I've heard of them verying a lot.

Yea, the reason I got a male was because they usualy stay a bit smaller than the females, so if I really like having the burm (not to say that if their not 'my thing' like balls are that will get rid of it, because I wont), then I will be better prepared for a female when it comes to handling and everything. But who knows, I will probaby just stick with this guy for a good few years before getting another.

And thanks for the advice on food- I had head of pigs before, of course I dont know where to get any around me. Bunnies will be the easiest, aside from rats. But I've never heard of goats before- that would be interesting to see!
