there is a lot of controversial advice on the net regards to the viv size these guys need, as a rule of thumb I like to provide a viv which is at least half the length of the snake.
the Burm vivs are 12 ft x 2 ft x 3 ft. I do exercise them at least twice a week either in the house or if the weather is fine out in the Garden.

wow thats an impressive sized snake . would you honestly reccomend them to people as pets? or would you say they're for experienced keepers?

Nice to see a fit streamlined burm for a change, I get fed-up with seeing fat obese 12ft plus slugs one after the other.
Well done that man :-)

Thanks for the comments, I have a real problem with all those massively over weight Burms, especially from the USA where a culture has developed to produce really obese animals, one owner was feeding his Burm a 70 lb pig every fortnight !
Like all Burms mine will eat until the cows come home, however Once they reach a good length I limit their feeding to one large item a month with the occasional rat or guinea pig as a treat.
Exercise is also a key to keeping them in good shape so a large viv and the opportunity to free roam (under supervision) keeps them a bit trimmer.
