    Need some insight

    Ok so i have had a few retics, the biggest being 16' the smallest was around 12', that i have had to get rid of because of living situations/gf's/school. I now have another retic baby (4' or so, shes an 09) but anyways

    im thinking of getting a burm. Ive not had problems with my retics, I do know they respect they need/supplies that they need. What do you guys think, im confident with my large snake keeping/handling abilities. Alll my snakes are hook trained and yada yada yada.

    also are there any nonos with picking burms? kinda like male retics tend to get super pissy and aggresive during breeding season?

    anyways weigh in for me please

    whatever you get, just make sure you can care for it for the duration of it's life... it sounds like you wouldn't have any problems with a burm.

    I cant see way it would be a problem for you, since you already have handle the tic's, I find that my burm is easier for me then my retic, better disposition but that just may be individual personalities.

    Re: Need some insight

    Have you solved the living situation/girlfriend/school problems?

    If not, don't get another snake.

    Burms are "child's play"

    yeah i have im now in my own house, out of school with a fiance that has her own snake/reptile collection and the burm is actually more cuz she likes them more than i do. I want a super tiger tic but she likes labryinth (i know thats spelled wrong) burms and i told her instead of getting another retic we'd get a burm


    thanks for the help guys

    No problem, then!

    Go for the labyrinth, they are gorgeous, and you can get your new tic later. You know you will!
