albino burm

She looks great! As for taming, constent handling will do the trick.
BTW, slipknot rocks!

i agree with bmx i got a burm that did noting but bite but it tamed after handiling and yes slipknot rocks to bad i missed them and fearfactory on tour but o well im getting there new cd that drops this

i saw them with fearfactory the best show thanks for the advice stay sic

Just saw them with fear factory last night. Fear factory was.....alright. But great snake and good luck taming

Feeding her out of the tank will only create future problems and not easier taming! And I wouldn't put alcohol on my hands, I would just handle it with my bare hands and let it bite me! I don't like to have my snakes in any discomfort.

i have to agree with the feeding outside of the cage because of my experience, they are less likely to be jumpy when you open the lid. the alchohol thing i dont agree with. good old hands on handling is the best way to tame a snake, you get used to the biting after awhile. its all part of the hobby. and you should not use gloves its not good to break a snakes tooth.

Pythons in general are "ambush" hunters, meaning they wait for food to come to them. So even if you feed out of cage, when they see a warm mammal enter their territory, they may associate it with food. Let me see you move a 20ft, 250lb+ burm in hunger mode back into his cage... I feed just about all my herps(including monitors) in cage, and have not had a problem. That is why they invented a hook. I tap my retics on the head with the hook to let them know it is not feeding time. Then I procede to take them out without a problem. Now when I used to feed out of cage.... I got a few accidents to say the least. I don't know how many boids you've kept, but if you've ever seen a retic in feeding mode, you'll know what I mean. NYCsnakelover knows what he's doin and that's why he too doesn't feed out of cage.

so keep with constant handling and that might do the trick i have always feed in the cages never had a problem

ive never kept really large species and did not look at it that way.i guess you learn something new everyday. i just got a new wrinkle in my brain

hey bmx when you breed your retics let me know im interested in them

hey slipknot...i know how it is..i have a 4 month old burmese she is just down right nasty sometimes..

i feed her in the tank sometimes but usually out of her tank in a rubbermaid container.. well great snake man... and yes SLIPKNOT RULES!!!

not a good idea feeding outta the cage cause what are you going to do when you have a 14ft burm and you have to move it when its in feeding responce not very easy with little snakes feeding outta cage is good but not with big

Slipknot,
The only current breeding project would be with super tigers, tigers, and dwarf tigers. I just have to find a mate for my big guy.
As for the other retic breeding projects, I hope to breed sulas over the next couple years. I will contact you if I get babies.

thanks bmx i just sold my 2 female retics to my buddy and i want to get rid of this burm and get another retic

Hey, if you want, I am going to the Hamburg show in June and can pick you up a nice retic. If so, email me at Omar@comcast.net
