first off I am not going to ask you how old you are because I am not wanting to start that thread over again, but more importantly how much reptile experience do you have. What other species have you owned. How long have you had them. I have to admit that I am not overly impressed with your questions so far. It is just that the questions being asked is all the same basic stuff. How big do they really get. Man that info is everywhere and with pics to boot. If you need to ask all this then there is no way you are ready to get a snake with the capacity that a burm has. Now not to make this all negative, A male burm can be fed large rabbits (usually 2-3 a feeding) once every 2-4 weeks depending on the actual size of the snake and its particular needs. If you have an exceptionally large male or a female then you can get feeder pigs from your local coop or most local farmers markets have them pretty cheap. A 20-30 pound pig will last a large burm for a month or two. Anyway, please assess your situation and determine if you are really in a position where you are able to care for it properly. Make an honast assessment of your abilities and your experience levels please. Thank you, Todd
