Baby Albino Burmese Python

[KingPython]

Just curious what are these worth now days? And are they worth getting since they will grow really fast and really big.

As far a monetary value.. they're not worth a whole lot. Burm morphs tend to lose their value relatively quickly because of large clutch size (80 eggs or more isn't unusual) and since they grow so large, not as many hobbyists keep them.

I believe you should only keep species that truly appeal to you as a herper.. not those that carry a nice price tag. Are they 'worth' getting? Well, if you're prepared to care for a snake that can reach 100lbs or more and live for 20 or more years.. then go for it. Burms are fantastic snakes for the right person.

I agree with April's statement.


As far as I've seen, a baby albino burm will be about $240.00 retail value, here in NJ at least.

Thanks for the replies, I was just curious since the Albino was soo cheap I always wanted an albino snake but Albino Bp's just way too expensive. I didnt buy the burmese anyways I bought two turtles instead, but I just wanted to know if they were really worth getting.

The food bill for an adult burm will cost you just as much as an albino ball python....just remember that.

Yes, they can get a tad BIG.

Lawrence, is it just me or is that one fat momma? I was unaware that burms were that heavy bodied...

Yep, it looks pretty obese to me too. Did you notice the one next to it? From what I read, the room is used as the snakes cage and that gigantic box is the hide.

I don't believe so. Supposedly they belong to a guy named Vern Rummel from Manitoba.
