Alaska is a male albino Burmese python measuring in at a mere 12 feet in length. I estimate his weight to be around 60 pounds. He was a surrender which I took in during January, 2005. The owner was moving to Alaska so that's what I named him. Alaska is not near as large as my female albino Burm, Anna Banana, but he is still quite a handful. He has broken out of various cages, and he continually devises ways to tip the 5 gallon water bucket over in the cage. The only way to clean his cage is to let him out of the cage for a leisurely excursion. I have to watch him carefully so he doesn't knock over the tv or other tanks and cages. There are two resident cats so naturally I don't want them to be Alaska's dinner. Right now he eats a 4-6lb rabbit every other week; however, like most Burms he doesn't think that's often enough. .
