Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

is my burm ready for rabbits?
im not exactly sure how old the snake is bc i rescued it from some idiot on craigs list, its had bad skin problems and other issues but he has come a longggg way since then and is nice and healthy.
hes 8ft on the conservative side he was almost completely stretched out next to a tape measure and was at the 8 ft mark so i would say 8 ft and a few inches, hes about 10-11 inches in girth.
my local pet store has "jumbo" rats that he devours with no problem, you cant even see a bump in him after eating the "jumbo". and within a day or 2 at most hes slithering around like hes already needing to eat. now i realize they have monster appetites so i dont feed him more then 1 of these jumbos in a week but i think its a little under sized for him. i dont have anywhere near me that sells Gpigs or feeder rabbits for that matter but if i had to buy a "pet" gpig or rabbit i would do it. im just not sure if he is of a big enough size to pound something that big.
the gpigs they have dont seem much bigger they just have more fur. so for a burm of his size listed above. what do you think i should give him to better fit his appetite and needs?

big boids (retics, burms, rocks) are ready for rabbits from their first meal. when captive burms are ready for rabbits depends on when and what size you can in rabbits. if you can get newborn rabbits pinks, then hatchlings are ready from their first meal. if you cant get rabbits until the rabbits are a pound, generally they need to be at least 4-5 feet or so. if you cant get rabbits till they are 3 or 4 pounds, they need to be 7-8 feet or so, and so on. but they are always able to eat rabbits from their first meal
but, at 8 feet or so, at least 3 pound rabbits are good, if not up to 4 pounders or so

I was hoping you would pop on here, you helped me last time i posted regarding his weirs foldy skin. Alright sounds like I need to find some 3-4 pound rabbits for this guy. Finding the rabbits may be the tricky part.

mine didnt care at all. she is a professional rabbit shower. if the rabbits dont have the color, or the attitude, or anything that will not make the show, she would just keep them and use them as meat for her family and pets. i help her keep her freezer somewhat empty and she makes a little money.
most breeders (especially bigger breeders, that have 30 or 40 litters every month), will not care what they are used for. mine are already frozen, which is a great thing
