Re: Any Docile big pythons?
Personally I think a 8ft-12ft snake, like a carpet python or male red tail boa would be your best choice before you think you can handle a burm or retic. I honestly don't think 90% of the people who want a burm, retic, or anaconda are even remotely qualified to own a large constrictor like that. Your going to be shoveling piles of poop the size of your head, and feeding large and expensive meals depending on where you buy from you'll spend $14-$20 on 1 f/t rabbit each week. By no means is it easy to take care of a large python, I know because I was in the same position when I was younger except I bought a 10ft albino green burm. Had it for 4 months then realized this wasn't what I had in mind, so I ended up selling it to a professional snake keeper. Now I know after an unwise purchase that I don't want a burm or retic, I love them but realize only serious professionals who can properly house and feed these goliath's should have them.

I did get into a bigger python, but not big compared to any of these guys. I got me a baby blood python. I figured that if in a 2-3 years, when this lady really has some girth and weight on her, if I can handle her...THEN i'll move up to something bigger again.
good idea. its best to work your way up, than jump right in when it comes to things like this. Best of luck and PICS!!!!
Re: Any Docile big pythons?
What about maybe a Carpet python that gets rather large? Bredli females can get pretty long, but stay kinda slender.
