Wow, check this site out!

It;s about some guy who keeps giant snakes in his basement. The photo of him and his Burm is worth the visit. I never knew that burms got so big; maybe it is a retic??

Good grief -- the guy keeps three giants in a single cage and feeds them without a backup person and without separating the snakes? AND he's feeding live chickens? What a shining example of husbandry -- NOT!

Ive seen that pic before, Im pretty certain it is a burm. Gotta be one of the biggest in captivity though.

yeah, I'd keep my 150 pound alligator snapper with a pair of caimen too, why not? lol

The statement at the bottom:

Anyone want to take a stab at how many feeding errors are demonstrated in the above incident?

needs to be huge bold italics.

That's ridiculous stuff lol.

thats friggin crazy, you think he would put the chicken on some big pole/tong thing and put it in the snakes cage and feed,but i guess not.

Ive seen that website before, its one of the first i saw when i wanted a burmses python, ididnt know anything about them so i looked them up and found that and then i got my nice SMALL ball python instead

Wow. I think if I got my hand chomped on by a big snake... it would definitely ruin my day. ;)

I couldn't imagine a 20 foot shed. that's insane.

yeah that would be pretty crazy

"Hidden speakers"? "Jungle music"? I get guilty having my stereo on 6 feet from my 3-foot snakes. I can't imagine how stressed these poor critters must be with music blaring at them all the time.

Haha, wow, like Smulkin said...that little bit at the bottom of the story...it's quite an understatement. My hats off to that guy for being able to keep all these animals the way he is and not being killed yet...

And yeah, I'm pretty certain that's a burmese python. I can see the pattern a bit in the dark and poor quality pic, and it matches the burmese pattern by the looks of it. I've seen that webpage a while ago, and didn't know/think burmese can get that big. But you can never predict how big your snake's gonna get, I guess. That's why there's a Guinnes Book of World Records...weird things happen. ;)
