But I thought you'd all like to see a video I made of my burm, she is a rescue and when I got her she was 10' and about 30lbs, and this shows the progress I've had with her in just 2 years

Thanks
Zack

Good job, Zack!

You are to be commended for doing a great job of keeping her at a healthy weight. I just had an encounter with someone on another forum about them being sooo proud of their obese Burmese Python. Of course, I was wrong, their Burm wasn't obese (according to them).

I also commend you for taking in a rescue. You're batting .1000 in my book.

Thanks for taking the time to show us what a healthy, big Burmese Python should look like. Don't run off, stick around for awhile.

Once again, great job!

Take care!

Thanks a lot, she is an awesome animal and if we didn't limit her food intake she'd never stop eating, me and my fiance are against obese burms and retics, I have seen so many obese animals and i don't understand how people can do that to them. I also have a male lavender albino retic. with that going i see people getting retics that are over 9ft in 1 year of it hatching, this is something else I'm not a fan of, only way i have ever seen that done is power feeding for that year and the person thinking it's not because the snake isn't obese, well a growing baby wont get obese just have it's life shortened, ours is about a year and a half and about 7ft feeding weekly on xl rats. anyways I wont blabber on and on about this subject since i know most of the people in here feel the same.

Thanks again
Zack
