yea...burms will probably eat any warmed bird parts....I know people that did it before....

yes they are parts and snakes need whole foods to live well and be healthy....(just like the whole grains deal)

....good luck.....

Reptiles should be feed whole animals as there is more than the meat the animal needs for proper development, after all the hair aids in digestion...

However I used to supplement the 3 XXL rats with quartered chicken for my burm. I breed rats, and didn't want to move into rabbits...

Please note quatered or chicken parts make for some nasty Burm fecal deposits.
