hehehe you've seen many a photo of Lucy though Lee.: victory:

Yes, i'll tell you more about her, she's now around 12 years old and we have owned her for the past 5 years, she came to us as a 13ft girlie, and feeds on giant bunnys.

As with most burms she has a lovely temperament and can even be handeled by our 13 year old (supervised naturally by 2 adults), but has the typical burmese habit of being abit of a witch when hungry :lol2:

Handel with care around feeding time, throw bunny in, light blue touch paper and stand well back.:lol2:

Wow, beutifull, Burms are next on our list but have to wait for a larger house, hopefully in the next 2 years.. What size viv she in out of curiosity?
 
#18 ·
TBH we are going to be moving her up a viv size as she now getting very cramped, she's in a 7(and abit)x4x3, Burmese are very lazy but we are gonna move her upto (after a room reshuffle) a 10ft viv. She comes out for excercise though (for a stretch out ect) or we'd have moved her up sooner.:icon_redface:
But yeah come the next couple of months she will get a new house.

Burmese mentality
Eat,
Sleep,
Shit,
Repeat.:lol2:

she's beautiful and a credit to you :no1:. good to see a thread that emphasises to people thinking of getting a burm just how big they get and the size of viv they will eventually need! may stop a few from being impulse bought and later being rehomed. ive looked at normal burm babies in shops they are so adorable and my dream snake but i know that i just havn't the room so they stay where they are :(

Yes unfortunately people do tend not to understand the size thing, its like the figure they can reach just flys over there head, i see it with the childrens friends, you say to them about a 17ft snake and they say oh wow, thats big, but when they meet her go OMG i didnt think THAT BIG, mmmmmmmmm 17ft is 17ft in anybodys language.:lol2:

Thanks for all the lovely comments folks, i will tell Lucy tonight, she's got a big enough head as it is, my betting is it will swell even more.:razz:
