*PICS* Burm Feeding

I fed my Burm today and though I didn't take any new pics, I thought it would be fun to share some I took in February.

My burmese is a 15 foot male, and weighed 23 pounds when I adopted him. He weighs about 50 pounds right now, but I'm hoping to get him to about 70 soon.

I hope you enjoy!

Thanks!
He's eating 5 to 7 pound rabbits. He hadn't eaten in 8 months before I got him so I started him on small meals and then he went off food and started eating again with this feeding.
This bunny was a baby Flemish giant and was 5 pounds.

Thanks! He's amazing! I was offering food about every two to three weeks but the last two feedings have been 4 weeks apart. Now that everything isn't as crazy I'm going to offer food again every three weeks.

I get my bunnies from a local breeder who culls and sells to the herp community here and I'm hoping to get some larger ones soon.

If anyone thinks I should be doing something different, please let me know! This is my first and only snake so I'm a total novice.

Amazing shots, I really like this guy! You look at the shots then find out thats a 5 pound rabbit and realize how big he really is lol. He'll be 70 pounds in no time! Kudos on such a great job!

Re: *PICS* Burm Feeding

How long have you had him? And do you know how old he is?

He's a pretty one! Once he gets a little more weight on him, he's going to look awesome! Can't wait to see what he looks like then!
