Hey, if he's selling for the price of a normal BP, that's a hell of a deal!

he just gave it to me cause he was moving. i checked it out very well no mites or no scaring or anything just a little on the skinny side cause not being fed properly other then that a great snake beside being jumpy right now

ooooh that's not good...I would follow up on this if I were you, if he's claiming it is a ball python, and someone with little experience buys it expecting it to be full grown (seeing as it's already quite large in comparison to a BP) it's going to be really really bad. This snake isn't even close to max growth potential. These snakes can grow up to 15 feet or more..I would definitely try to reach out to someone about this, for the sake of the snake and any potential buyer..a burm isn't as easy to care for as a ball! It's quite a step up!!

If I came home with that after saying I was getting a bp my mom would kill me and the snake lol

[mcmanama01]

he is not a breeder just had it as a pet but he was moving and had to get rid of it

[mcmanama01]

i thought my wife would kill me but she messes with it more then i do lol. i love having a wife that like snakes

its one of these snakes that get large enough that you seriously should consider putting it on a limited food scedule to keep it from growing too fast.

also, if its feisty, i suggest you get it tame as long as the size is still so manageable. in snakebytesTV they sometimes show sunshine, that super-tame albino burmese, and also satan, that behaviorally challenged ultra-agressive burmese.

i just found this really really old episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlNgcYRudoU just to give you an idea of maximum size for these. for these, a typical food item can be heavier than a typical adult BP. in weight they reach maybe round about 15-20 times the weight of a BP.

its a really advanced snake just because of the size it can reach.

also its one of these that may never, absolutely NEVER, break out or get lost or let loose. also you need to ask some experts about the laws, not exactly sure but i dont think you can move it across state lines, it may also be banned in some areas.
