I don't have any pics but I have seen this first hand. It's an animal with a head much smaller then it should be compared to the overall size of the animal. Usually this happens with powerfed animals, although it doesn't always happen. Your feeding schedual sounds fine. ALOT of reptiles are overfed in captivity! In the wild they really don't have the access to the food we feed everyday, they may go days, weeks, or months without food! Yes you can overfeed a young burm, or any snake for that matter. I typically feed more in their first year of life because they get the most growth at that time, then I'll slow the feeding to a normal rate. Rabbits are great but expensive, I'd try looking into pigs! Boids can handle a prey item up to 3 times the size of their girth. Personally I like to feed larger meals less often.
