ok I got a 2ft burm I try to feed him once a week, right now bigger mice..Anyways I'm having trouble getting a pattern of feeding, then handling. It seems I give him a few days to digest then run out of days to handle. Maybe because I'm worried he needs more time to digest. Just wondering what others patterns are...thanks

i feed mine two small mice a week

I used to think myself into the same corner. On the forum I always hear to give ample time to digest b4 you handle. I usually just wait till the lump is gone.(ussually about 2 days)

My guy will not let me handle him b4 he is ready anyway. I have the greatest burm, he hisses to let me know without bitting me first.

i have an other question my burm(big bruce) he hisses every time i pick him up, but when he is out, he's out he's fine. My question is how do i stop him from doing that.

1. burmese python(big bruce)
1. ball python(sophy)

they will always do that its natrul instinct

on may 17 i had my burm for 1 year and he barely ever hisses only when i first got him and that was for like a week. That was it though he never does when i get him out or when hes out.

Hey burmking, so you say that you have had your burm for nearly a year huh? How old was he when you got him? My real question is how big is he today cause I have an 11 month old and want to compare sizes just to see where I stand.

Thanks
