Burmese are monsters. I like them and I think they are beautiful, but I think people should have special licenses in order to own them. Apparently there's a breeding population in the Everglades, now.
He was beautiful; but died of liver failure at 12 feet. The vet says that is is fairly common that they reach that capacity and croak. He was placid and social, always. Except toward the iguanas.
If they are fresh killed (still warm) he usually goes right for them. The one in the picture is thawed from our freezer, and sometimes he doesn't act interested.
You would giggle more if I had a movie of the process: I'm using the tongs to jiggle the mouse, an activity I've given the technical term "meat puppet."
