I am still not sure about the age--the information available about the origins of the snake is secondhand and unclear--but the previous owner indicated that she was definitely underfeeding the Burm...going on the assumption that it was a Ball. It was only getting a medium rat every two weeks from Dec. '05 through May '06. Not sure at all what the owner before was feeding it in terms of size and frequency. But it's clear that it's been growing faster. I measured it last night and it was right at 5', so about six inches growth in less than a month and 25% body weight in a month and a half.



I've grown fond of the snake, but knowing what it'll become I think we're going to be finding him a new home. My friend is asking her cousin if he wants it back, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better off somewhere else.
