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 :?:
