>>Hello, I just received my first a burm, An albino at that. Any advise in keeping him tame, and in a safe enviroment.



A sstated in the other reply gentle and consistent handling will ensure that your "baby" is tame. Never handle you animal only when time to feed and never when food smells are around or on you. Always use tongs to feed with and watch out for that huge strike, (i speak from experience, Got my arm wrapped in a coil when my tongs got caught in with the rat and on my finger, I kept a small bottle of oil just for that thing) Make sure you heed the warning of crirical size this will be important later.

Cage size will be a big chore they require a lot of room when they get big and they get big FAST be one step ahead and have the final living space ready by the time it reaches six feet or so.



Lastly keep reading in the forum and get all the info you can.
