It's a nice size, big enough to make handling fun but no so big that handling becomes hard work

yeah she is a good size, and very easy to handle most of the time..she can be a bit stroppy in her viv at times, but all in all is fine. i handle her at least 3 times a week as a rule to keep her used to it as she grows larger..but even one adult size i will still have her out but may need some assistance from the better half with it i don`t think she will be a monster burm anyway as in the just under a year i have had her she has only grown around 2 feet if that..she was in a bad state when i got her...thin, dehydrated, and had scale rot! not to mention her nasty attitude (due to virtualy no handling i think) i believe she has been stunted to some degree, as if she was still pretty young she would have been growing at a much faster rate... but she has come a long long way since then and turned out a little gem

That's sad, I'm glad she's in good hand's now though! Being snappy may have been due to lack of handling or just being starved or a combination of both. All burms can be a bit stroppy in their vivs at times, but pussycats once out usually Any idea on her age?

well the prev owner said around 2 years old so i am guessing at around 3 years old...and yeah i know burms (as with most larger boids) can be pretty stroppy in viv, mostly due to feeding response but now she is tap trained it pretty much cancels all that out and she is a pussycat when out and LOVES having a bath which she gets most times she is out..
