What is the average size of an male bum.

Im pretty sure average would be somewhere between 9-14 ft. They can get bigger than this, but as long as they arent overfed, they probably wont get much longer than this. As far as weight, it will probably depend on how and what you feed.

I agree that most burms size and weight all depends on the feeding schd. I have an 11 month old male who eats constantly(about twice a week) at about 7 foot and a 6 year old male who has had feeding problems at only 10 foot. So in this case I'm going to have one male on the large side and one male on the small size. I believe a healthy male burm should hit at least the 12 ft marker, just my opinion.

I've got a male Burm that I've had now for almost four years. He was given to me when he was about 6 feet long and in the neighborhood of 15-20 pounds. He's an aggressive feeder for about half the year (from October to the beginning of March he does not eat), and is now in the 12 foot, 70 pound range. He is currently eating like a pig, and while I don't know how large he'll be, I most certainly feel he'll be around 15 feet, and maybe 150 pounds.
