Ball pythons and burmese are the same!

Wow guys I just totally got so schooled by this chick that was telling me that ball pythons and Burms are the same animal and that apparently she knows this because hed dad bought a snake at petsmart and it grew to 9 feet!

First off Burms are illegal where I live and she claims he bought it at a petsmart here in Puerto Rico. They only sell ball pythons here mainly because its, again, laregly illegal. Second She kept saying its the same species, which I tried to explain its more like cats and tigers, same family different species, she said no its the same. And then she kept saying the laws had changed (I wish!!!) and it depended on length now. Needless to say I was annoyed and trying desperately to explain it properly but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. [emoji53]

Sorry if its a bit of a rant but I wanted to share. Its sad even some people that are pro reptiles dont know anything about them but claim to be all knowing..

that's hilarious omg

You should tell her that they don't even look the same... Their markings and head and body structure are completely different. They only look "the same" to the untrained eye lol

That's just silly. It's burms and cornsnakes that are the same.

Well in this house burms and bp are the same! Or atleast as long as I can fit him in my bp rack before my husband notices! Lol

Around where I live, every snake is a rattle snake. Every. single. snake. one might see outside. Is a Rattler. LOL

But I thought all snakes were cobras!
