You guys are lucky to be getting a Burm I have wanted one for awhile but my dad would never let me keep a full grown one. Do you know if he has any Albino Dwarfs?
Getting a half dwarf burm.

Either way, I still don't think it's worth $150 to me just to avoid a few puncture wounds when I could just use a $30 snake hook to tap it instead.Crotalus Scutulatus;4961487; said:
And actually, I believe Chris (snakeguy101) tested those and a pin was able to easily get through.
I'm sorry I misunderstood what you meant by hook training, my bad. It's a gorgeous snake by the way, congrats.
im not reading the rest of the thread, read 1 and 2 but dont wana get in to an argument.
first off CONGRATS, i know whatever happens u will take care of this snake and b a brilliant owner.
i have a female 75% who is just over a year and 6.5ft, shes also a chick feeder so not growing as she normally would...just saying that she will prob end up only a tad smaller than normal.
i use a hook with my big one, but i tap him when i open up, mainly to judge what mood hes in tbh lol, but obv to let him know its not feed time. then i put my hand in to pull him out and just keep the hook near his face/neck to make sure he doesnt swing round to nab me (which he never does but still). i never use the hook to pull him out.
id get a 4x2 viv then work depending on how it grows hun. u may strike lucky and it not get more than 6ft...or it might swing the other way lol
feeding wise, i feed my littlun (obv trying rats too) 2 chicks a week, the biggun is on a rabbit a month, or 4 jumbo rats.
erm, i think that covered everything u wanted lol

snakeguy just got some and stuck a needle straight through lol said he wouldnt b using for hot handling.

For something small yet extremely venomous, yeah that would be worth it, but for a burm to prevent a few puncture wounds, I'll pass.
good boy
after all its not the bite thats guna kill u lol x
