Well rob i am basing my info on a book called pythons and my local Herp shop manager....he even gave me a feeding schedule as follows....



hatchling to 30" 1 mouse every 5 days



30"-3ft. 2 mice evry week



3-4' 1 small rat a week



4-5' 1 medium rat a week



5-6' 1 large rat a week



6-7' 1 jumbo a week



7 and up an appropritae size rabbit every 2 weeks........



i think this schedule is very good fro burms...dont you??? Also a little more on the technical scale a hatchling burm until it is 6 months old should get 12x its weight every year.......6 months to a year should get 8x weight a year....1 year to 18 months should get 6x its weight and byt the timew a burm is full grown it should only eat double its weight a year...for example a 7' burm at a little over a year old...and say the 7' snake weighs arounf 10 lbs.. it should get about a 2lb rabbit every 2 weeks.......by 10 ft and almost fully grown for a male.....its hould get maybe a 4 or 5 pounder every 2 weeks.....ROb i would actually like your comments on this info please respond...thank you

Jake
