ADVICE
Deedle, she was a year oll, 4 feet, 3 lbs, she is now about 7 feet, about 40 lbs. she has no feeding response - a great eater but i can put my hands in the cage at feeding time, put her ft food in the cage, she no longer restricts or strikes her food. she is kind of afraid if i move the food so it looks alive. Ihandle her for 3-4 hours a day, 3-5 days a week even if she jusst sits on the back of the chair or lays in the bed with me. she could get out of her cage if she wanted to but never tries, also if i fall asleep with her and she climbs off the bed, she curls up next to the bed and waits for me to get up and tke her back to her cage. with all the burmese up for adoption, i am wondering if i could handle one. i am the only one in my house who loves reptlies and dont’ know if i get a burm, i will be able to tame her up like Inga. I don’t have a second person to help at any time and wonder if she gets f/t will i be able to handle her myself. debbie |

You MUST have a secure enclosure. I use clips {for now} and 4 10lb weights to hold her screen lid down. Honey never offers to get out but I refuse to put her or my self in danger. Better safe than sorry. And she is only 7 ft right now and not once have I had her out with out some one else in the room with me. Preferably some one who has experiance with snakes and how to handle them. You never TAME any animal to be honest. Even the best pet has some wild instinct and may do some thing unexpected. I know my snakes very well, that by no means gives me the right to be lax in how I handle them. You and your pets saftey are in YOUR hands. If you screw up they are the ones who suffer. Try to think of this whole FL mess. Pretty much every thing you just said is why people end up on TV boohooing that there snake killed,hurt and ect ect ect. So please do us a favor and DONT buy a burm unless you take time to do your home work! Sorry to be rude...just sick of ignorant people making life hell for responsible owners. |

as in "a great eater but i can put my hands in the cage at feeding time", thus far or "she could get out of her cage if she wanted to but never tries,", thus far.. ... and if you dont have a second person to help ever.. its not a good idea to get a snake that might be 16+ feet... because no snake is "Dog Tame".. i mean..burms are snakes.. they could eat a dog if you let them.. or if they went outside when you fell asleep and met your neighbor’s prized chihuahua .. but it sounds like inga is a real cool snake.. thus far cheers justus |
