oh man lol...I'd consider rehoming asap...if you aren't experienced with herps at all a burm isn't a starter snake lol.

Ive seen my fair share of baby Burms and yes that does actually look like one, since it seems like you're not knowledgeable Im sorry if im a newb but imma just jump in and say it. These snakes get big. Like 13 feet long and quite thick around. As adults they can eat a rabbit, tho some people give them a good portion of jumbo rats or a few other types of feeders. If you look at its size, for a baby its already way too big for a cornsnake. If you have the space and the time and commitment they can be amazing animals, but if you find that the thought of a snake big enough to require 2 people minimum handling it as an adult for safety is something that intimidates you or that you dont have the space for then my advice is as hard as it may be you should put it up for adoption or sell it. Irresponsibly keeping it will only lead to a bad name for the reptile community one way or another.

Definitely a beautiful Burmese python! Always love how orange they look when younger. You definitely need to research Burmese pythons and decide if that's an animal you can handle. The person selling that to you was insanely irresponsible not telling you what it is or making sure you could care for an animal like a burm. If you google adult Burmese pythons you should get some good pictures and an idea of how big they can get and how difficult that can be to handle.

Yeah 100% a burmese python. That snake will get pretty big in due time, not overnight mind you but over time.

why did you consider buying an animal when you had absolutely no clue about it or its care? especially one that will easily reach ~15ft? you're putting an animal in jeopardy due to your ignorance. i'm sorry for not being so welcoming, but this just sounds so ridiculous.

i do apologize for being harsh, but i stand by my questioning. please do your research and see if a burmese python is something you can care for. if not, you need to rehome it asap.

This has to be a set up. Someone really let someone go home with a burm without making sure they could care for it? This is the kind of stuff that really, really makes the hobby look bad. If it's true please let me know who the seller is. I will call them myself.

I believe it 100%, retics and burms are sold around here all the time.

Retics and burms are for sale at lots of shows, but I can't imagine they're readily sold to someone with little experience who thinks it's a corn snake. This post is so crazy I'm having trouble believing it.

lol I agree a lot of breeders won't let the animals go to just anyone but I'd bet there are a few that do...
