"no natural predators" is a claim fraught with deceit. Pure and simple. Predator/ prey conversations are actually pretty simple and something the general public can understand. This statement was made intentionally to deceive.
Comparing captive burms to wild caught burms I don't believe is such a stretch. Unless you're implying captive burms are domesticated animals. Inferences have been made that a lot of these snakes have been released by previous owners(as opposed to hatching out in ENP) so are these Burms wild? Domestic? Feral?
In my show I always say, never forget they are wild animals.
Having said that I believe the Burm. is docile by nature.
I don't believe it necessary to grab the animal by the head. A little patience, and most would repond "peacefully".
My point is I believe all Burms are wild some are just held in captivity. So I believe it is totally logical/reasonable to apply behavioral similarities. Cont. under Mike's post. D.C.
