Dwarf Burm

I would like to get my husband a dwarf burm for Christmas. He held one recently and fell in love with it and won't stop talking about how bad he wants one. We have the proper housing for it when it's fully grown. We literally have 85 gallon, 180 gallon, and 55 gallon aquariums hanging around with nothing in them. We jump on them whenever they are free at rummage sales, or on the curb. Our rescue ball python actually came to us in the 180!

Anyway, I am looking for a breeder. Who would you recommend? Is there anyone to stay away from? I've been reading the BOI, too.


Thanks in advance!! :)

Alohareptiles is going to be breeding them this year, he's a member on this forum.

Justin McBrayer should have a few left.

what do dwarf burms go for price wise?

It's ironic that a 'dwarf burm' is in the 'giant pythons' section. :rofl:

Justin only has half dwarfs. (Last I remember)

Dwarf burm breeders are few and far between. There are half dwarf breeders going for the albinos etc tho.

mos people only have half dwarfs. Just keep an eye on kingsnake or fauna sometimes one pops up.

I have Half Dwarfs...I had a pair of true Dwarf Burms but sold them recently...

If you were at Tinley and saw Michelle and Randy's Burm (Art in Scales), that was a Half Dwarf and the sister of my pair...I would HIGHLY SUGGEST the Half Dwarf's...Their temperaments are tamer than the true dwarfs who tend to be more like chainsaws...They get to be around 6 - 8 feet and are just the perfect manageable sized burm that won't try and draw blood all the time...Justin Mcbrayer and Tom Reagan also have pairs and produced beautiful snakes...I'm starting to pair mine up and will hopefully have some this coming year...

The only breeder in the US who has them each year is Bob Clark, i think they are $375+ but im not too sure.
Aquariums are nice but they arent the best setup for a Dwarf Burm, Dwarfs are a very shy & nervous species who stress easily. The best setups for Males & Females would be a 3x2 Tub for an Adult Dwarf Male & a Adult Dwarf Female will thrive in a 4x2x1 (LxWxH) Vivarium closed in with one door. So if you decide to get a Female i suggest you invest in a BoaPhile.
Anything younger then an Adult will be happy living in a rack system or tub.

If you found some true dwarf burms that isnt like chainsaws let me know lol. I hear all bad news on the dwarf burms but i hear alot more good on the dwarf and super dwarf tics.

Bob does CB Dwarf Burms and probably has some clutches in the bator as I type...I think they are more than the price you quoted, but I can be wrong but I know I paid more for mine from him last year (but his pricing does tend to vary)...His are really good temperamented for a Dwarf...Mine wasn't a chainsaw at all and was downright beautiful...

It's going to be more of a crap shoot on if they will or will not be a chainsaw...Seriously, like I said in a previous post...I'd look at the Half Dwarf Burms...You won't regret it, like you might with the pure Dwarf...IMHO :)
