Looking into a Burm

Well I have always liked large snakes and have been working with one for about 2 months now helping out a friends wife while he is in Iraq. His burm in 12' give or take a few inchs its 8 years old I believe and a male. Now 12' isnt to much for me to handle but 18-20 is now I know males stay smaller and if I get one it will be a pre sexxed male. what I want to know from people who KEEP them like kara, not people who know a friend of a friend that had a......
what is the avg adult size for a male.

Well, I don't KEEP them, but I work with them every day at work.

Average male size is 10-15'. Awesome snakes with awesome temperaments. The one we have at work I named 'Noodle'. He's an albino and he acts just like a big cooked speghetti noodle.

Thanks shelby, I not rushing into one yet and still debating on a burm or a Female Suriname will most likely get the suri since I have a male and atleast they could bread down the road. and she would top out at 12' with out me having to worrie about her getting outa control large.

Most suris do not get to 12'. 9' is more average even for a female.

yeah avg is like 6' for a male and 8-9 for a female but the potential to hit 12' is there.

yeah the potential is there, just like the potential of a ball python reaching 6 feet is there

But Its very uncommon for a suri to reach 12'

Peruvian boas are known to be larger than the suris. They don't have the wicked patterns and color of the suris though.
