You shouldn't try and feed to stunt a snake.
It is bad practice and is NOT good for the snakes health.

You could buy a dwarf burmese? Like Paul, I don't understand why you would get a burm if you want it to be a 'manageable' size.

Molurus,

Thats a large meal in decent period the problem I have with this thread isnt feeding a snake larger meals less frequent at all its the wanting to stunt an animal by under feeding it Cool That's a very nice snake you have btw Smile

Same with me as MJ said, not havin a go at people who feed large items over spaces of time that are good for the animal eg Molourus feedin a 1300g rabbit for 6 - 8 weeks.
