Where I work (WARNING- PICTURE HEAVY)

I was told to get a t-shirt that I wore and put it in with him. put it over my hand and most of my arm so he would know my scent.
well, I gave it a try this a.m. and let's just say my arm looks like something a rat gnawed on. 9 hits and 1 bite. it's not bad rather have him do it now then when he is bigger. (very strong snake for being only about 3 ft).
since I just got him Wednesday night ...I thought to myself I should wait about 2 weeks to let him get used to his home first and let him just watch me for a while. I'm positive he can smell me that way.
what was the size of your burmese when you got him :?: and how long did you wait to handle him :?:

Angelrose, I assume you are talking to me, but if not I will answer anyway.
My first burm I got as a baby... around 2 feet long. He didn't live very long because he had mites when I bought him that spread rapidly and during treatment he passed on. It was really hard for me because I worked so hard with him to kill those buggers, but they took him away from me. He was an amazingly calm snake and never struck, hissed or bit at me at all.
Then I found someone who was selling an 8 foot long male that I picked up. That's the burm I was talking about earlier. I got him at about 8 feet long, sold him at about 10-11 feet long. He was tame from day one. At first he was hesistant with me, but after a few weeks every time I came into the room he would dance up on the glass to come out and play. Literally, I would open the top and he would slither out onto my shoulders. I still have a picture of him and I from the first month I had him. This was when he was still around 8 feet. I had him for about 2 years and then had to sell him because I was moving into a smaller apartment, and my mom only let me keep my boa and my savannah monitor, because she didn't mind them as much. The savannah monitor died shortly after I moved out (I was a complete mess about it) and the boa is still alive and thriving. I then started getting animals at my apartment, and was hiding them at first, but then asked my landlord if they were ok, and she has no problem with them. I am moving in a few weeks and my new landlord has no problem with them either. Its really nice to see people are warming up to reptiles.
Wow sorry for the rant, but here is an old picture of me and my burm, Aiden (wow I look SO young!)

Azaleah - They just put out a bunch of Columbian/Peruvian cross RTB's at All Pets in Wallingford. Most of them have BCI saddles but BCC tails. Some have some peeks on the saddles. The sister to the Suriname we bought is next to them.
