    Ozone go to the link below and read it. It will show how responsible you will need to be when you acquire a burmese or any other python that grows more than 8 feet.

    Do they have them labeled as to what they are? If not .... check my picture on the first page and then check this link which has a picture of a burmese python: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/CareBurm.html . The differences in the pattern and the head size should give it away. If the snake is any bigger than 5 feet or approx 1.5 meters .. then is definitely a burmese. Ball-Pythons very very rarely get any bigger than 5 feet.

    A ball python and a burmese python is fairly easy to tell the difference between, once you know the general patterns of the two. In the link you provided, that would be a ball python. So if you see a snake at the petshop that's fairly small and has that pattern, then it's no doubt it's a ball python. Burmese have a bit different pattern, and a different head shape(from what I've seen anyway). If you see a snake with a pattern like the pic you linked to, then yeah, it's a ball.

    Read loads of caresheets, ask any questions you might have on here, maybe ask to handle the ball python at the pet shop, and generally get all the knowlege you can get. Then get your tank set up, and then you should be good for a ball python. :)
