    Good looking snake, and they discuss the whole python/ pet regulation debacle.

    400 pound snake!

    The media didn't demonize a burm... in Florida!? They stuck to the real issue of simply not having a permit. I'm proud of them, maybe they aren't ALL bad?

    That was a good video. Finally they are putting responsibility on the OWNERS for not having permits and proper caging.

    But did you guys catch that... 7 RABBITS in one day... isn't that a bit much!?

    It did seem like it had a pretty nice temperament in letting all those people handle it.

    I wonder if that weight is like most fishing stories.....slightly exaggerated.

    7 rabbits for that snake is not too may bunnies.

    Still and all, a much better presentation of giants than we usually see.

    That right there is exactly why I will not buy a burm. Granted they don't all get that big but they all have the potential. Very nice looking snake. I wish they would have emphasized how calm the snake was considering there's 20 people poking and prodding him. lol.

    She is absolutely beautiful!!!

    My husband and I are in the process of contacting FWC about taking her. We would love to have her and we would not breed her.

    :O Wow, now I feel sorry for burm owners for the food bills! That's crazy. Must be pretty awesome to watch it suck them all down though.

    either way, that was a very thick burm, especially for an 18 footer. It looks like an overfed snake. I have no doubt that this was an especially heavy burm.

    oh yes it was well fed but if it was 400 lbs you wouldnt see a few guys picking it up without straining
