Re: Few questions about owning burmese
My burm is very food aggressive. If I walk by the day after feeding day, he's still in hunting mode and will strike the glass at me. I have never been bitten by him, however, and I am very careful when feeding.
Re: Few questions about owning burmese
I know from having sonya(i.e rauri) in the house and having little severius now redtails Make great pets and especillay in Sonya's case getting well up into the larger size, temperment is very important .I like the larger snakes don't get Me wrong. One day i would love to have a retic or a burmese, but along with the size is the space you need to keep them properly. In My opinion you almost need a room you can simply devote to them they will need the space. Along with that that second person you have helping must be there everytime you handle it once it gets past the 7 or 8 ft mark can you count on that? Do you have the time and space needed to house it safely and humanely? It May get big enough that it needs to eat prey lager then a rabbit are you going to be able to raise or readily find it an approprite prey item? Are you going to have kids in the house ? Planning on gettting Married or are you married if your not what happens if your new partner dosn't like big snakes? It's a life time commitment for you and the snake and it is becomming more difficult to find homes for these bigger snakes when for any reason they don't fit in their owners life anymore for whatever reason. These are all questions I would sit down and answer before purchasing Any of the giant species.For All of us that love snakes small and large everytime a story of someone getting hurt or another giant getting dumped in the wild The wonderfull ignorant mob wants to go out and pass silly laws to requlate what they don't comprehend or think is bad for you. You see it every day with the new smoking laws the law comming in New York on what type of fryer oil its safe to fry fast food in give the Liberal and or conseravtive politican these days a reason to pass a law to Make your life better (They all believe were to stupid for our own good) They will pass said law. Pardon my divergance onto silly laws but do feel these are some of the things we must consider before choosing to bring a giant into ones life. If you can and want to give it a go after you have done all the reasearch Then go for it they are beautifull animals.
