My first instinct was to start asking piercing questions in a sarcastic tone... Inquiring about why you chose to take in an animal who's specific care and condition you are unfamiliar with... And this IS a valid concern still, but you seem determined to learn, so...

The above link is off a website which, while not *the* greatest, tends to be a pretty easy read and very close to accurate most of the time... Everything in the breeding section of the above link appears to be in order, although the part about taming snakes down through handling is a bit questionable.

Essentially what I did here was check sources in hard print at my home, as I have never bred burms myself (Only rarely kept 'em in fact... you can keep 40,000 Candoia sp. in the same space as one burm) and then located a web source that closely matched what I had here in a couple books... Basic suggestions being... Warm up the tank and buy three or four Hovabators (Or make something larger yourself), Burms drop large clutches of LARGE eggs.

And as much as I love Fauna, here's a link to Clark's forums- http://www.bobclark.com/bcforums/ There tends to be a higher accumulation of big boid breeders over there who might answer your questions much more specifically and from personal experience.

Out of curiosity... The forums where you were attacked for implying that you would hatch out the neonates, would they happen to be located on Kingsnake? I'm just curious as to how far the Kraplanites have spread over there...
