Is 7 foot for a 11 month old MALE burm real uncommon, or was I just lied to about the age, he does eat a whole lot but I never powerfeed. Id say hes 6 1/2-7 easy, at about 8 or 9 pounds.

It is very possible. My male is about a year and a half and is well over 8' and about 25 pounds. When he was on rats I fed him every four days but since the 7' mark I have been trying to switch him to rabbits and he has not taken well to the idea. He eats maybe twice a month now and that is only when I break down and give him a rat. He always eats it without a problem and they I chase it with a small rabbit. So I know that if he would have made the switch and continued on a normal feeding schedule (a rabbit once a week) he would be even larger than he is. Todd
