This is Riyaz, a normal male burm,he was hatched last July 7,2006 but he is growing in a very slow pace at only 42 inches and at 1 and a half years old. Do you think he is a runt?

I've been trying to do that as well but he seems contented after having 5 adult mice at the most but he will try to eat after 10 days sometimes. |

Don't feed him for a week then offer a rat..must cost you a fortune feeding him loads of mice..pointless mate...unless he hates rats.

he may be small but he is absolutely beautiful. and again an amazing name. rats are more nutritious, but i have some that absolutely will not touch them.
