I agree with the poster that stated that the snake needs to be fed more. Common sense should dictate that when an animal is acting that hungry, feed it. You can overfeed a burm of course, but one that is hungry enough to stalk its owner is very hungry indeed!

I have a male burm about the same size as yours (he's a little bit heavier, but about the same length), and he gets 1-2 rabbits every two weeks. But these are big rabbits. If they are in the 10 pound range, he gets one. Smaller than that and he gets 2. A snake that stalks you in feeding mode when he's out of the cage is a very dangerous animal, and could really cause some problems in the future.

I would definitely try to feed the snake more, and make sure you handle it frequently. But when you handle him, make sure you are very careful and always have someone around if the unthinkable happens. I would think that with more food and lots of handling, the snake will calm down. At least I would hope so.
