I would really like to see the burms you guys have, as I have never seen one that wouldnt strike at glass or at least think about it. My 13 year old burm still strikes the glass and he was cb and he eats more than any snake I have. I have worked with dozens of burms and they all are food mongers and have to constantly be reminded that they are not eating. I also havent seen many retics that come out and try to hide. Mine will come out and has to go all over the place and everywhere. She nevers strikes the glass and never offers a food response unless she is being fed. The other retics I have worked with will beg, but once you opne the door and dont have food they let it go. The retic that I have now was a resuce and had a really bad mouth infection and my friend had to pull teeth out of her mouth by hand and nnever once did she even try to bite him, and it wasnt like this was a one time thing, she had to have her mouth cleaned out by hand daily for a few weeks. Find me a burm that would understand, or trust someone enough to let them do that. Once you have earned your retics trust and respect there is a bond there you just cant ever get with a burm. Burms are still one of my favorites, but they are the blondes of the snake world.
