I meant one large rat twice a month. Apparently, he was hungry. I gave him 2 large rats today, and he took them each within 10 seconds of being near them.

He is still very quick and attentative when I go anywhere near his enclosure. My red-tails have always been very docile, not this guy. Are all burms this way, or did I just luck out? I love the fact that he's active, but is it that he's always hungry and looking for food, or is he just happy as hell exploring the same area over and over?

I don't mind the occassional bite, that's what snakes do, but I would like to keep them minimal as possible, especially since I have a daughter in the house, and I want my wife to eventually handle them as well. If she keeps seeing bite marks on my arm, she'll NEVER handle one.
