Good point Joan, the experience I have had with feeding primarily chickens were with 1 day old chicks fed to a group of extremely stubborn wild imports who turned their nose to everything else. And the second hand reports I received from reputable folks shared the same observations with full grown chickens. With a full grown chicken, it probably wouldn't be as bad though (we supplement quail to many of our herps but pretty much stick to a primary rodent diet). Also, I do agree in that many people have an exagerated idea on what a full grown adult burm really needs (for an appropriate sized meal). My 19' burm RARELY gets any rabbits larger than the 5-10 lb range....two of these a month is PLENTY for this particular snake to stay in tip top shape.
