Getting a baby burm next week
Long time lurker, I created this account specifically because I need to share my excitement and hope to connect with other keepers.
To preface, I have been keeping reptiles for 17 years. I never thought I could have a giant snake due to space. Well, my partner and I just bought a property in desert country and this baby will have a 10x10 outdoor enclosure as an adult (as well as an indoor for winter)
I’ve done a lot of research and settled on a male Burmese python. I love retics as well, but from what I’ve seen the males just don’t always have the best attitude once they reach maturity. Also, I am a relatively smaller female, and while my partner will be around for handling, we’re more comfortable with a male- yes, he’ll still get huge, but not 18 ft 200lbs huge lol
Were thinking of naming him Jamal. It means beauty and he is beautiful but it’s also funny because he has a derpy face. He’s coming next week after the crazy holiday weekend is over.
I’ll post a pic as a reply here since I’m still learning how to navigate the forum.

(I don't personally "do" giant snakes but some others here do.)
Thank you! I’ve actually lurked for years now, which sounds creepy haha but I look forward to being a more active member.

I'm so envious. When I retire, I'm moving someplace warm so I can build monstrous outdoor enclosures.

It really is his best feature! So endearing and cute :D I hope he has a sweet personality to match that face
