I feel so ashamed of some of you. This forum is to educate and help people, to ask questions etc...



This thread has over 20 posts, and not one states the obvious, apart from myself, followed up by Tod. This should have been the very first message put out.



Overfeeding, especially in large pythons is such a common misconception and a deadly habit. As Tod said, he knows he is power feeding his burmese, and he is doing it twice a week to gain a year on breeding. I would suggest that young burmese be fed once a week, and as they age a meal every 10 days, 2 weeks, and finally an adult male every 3 weeks.



If you continue a regime of 3-4 times a week feeding, I doubt the snake will live for more than 2 years old, probably less.



This advice should have been available in the first message, and I am not directing my anger at you completely, more to the other guys who are supposed to be helping.



I am quite disgusted and I only hope that you will follow my advice on feeding, regardless of what any other 'wise guy' says to you.
