WOW, that is HOT HOT HOT!
I cant believe you have so many burms. Cudos for putting all that time into these guys! Amazing!

Thanks-we love our burms-they keep us very busy.

Very pretty! :sunny:


Double-het green and granite??? What would the double homozygous form look like? One has a funky pattern and one is essentially patternless. How do those genes interact with each other?

man your feeder bill must be out of this world.............nice pick ups! :D

This is picture of one owned by Jim Bebo Mason-my husband took the pic when he was out there visiting in August

I'm really curious what its like keeping snakes that big.

Big food...big poop...big shovel. No thanks!

They look great! Have fun with them!:gj:

LOL. I guess that's one way to look at it. :D

I think that's why I'm always really interested in the super-dwarf retics. But they still get pretty big though.

Its funny, the pictures of people with their burms out. Man, I have to be up to it to take my JCP out. Even still I use a glove half the time. Either the giants must be really docile or something because there is no way I'd mess with an identical snake 4 times his size.

I love Granites!! She has a nice solid/bold pattern on her too.

I have never seen a Green-Granite before but that is one beautiful Burm.

Fortunaltely for me my husband handles them once they get over 12 feet-he grabs the heads and I get the tails. I do care for them up until that point. I clean all the cages and he cleans the snakes. We spend hours every week cleaning up poop and feeding. They are so much fun and it amazes me the difference in their personalities.

Out of all of our burms there are 2 that I won't go near. We have one 6 foot female that does not like me-my husband will get her out and if I am in the room she will strike at me and swing her body around to get at me. The other is still a baby so I'm working with him. The rest of our burms are quite calm and we do handle them often. They still have their moments though.

We have a super dwarf retic and we love him-he should only get about 6 feet-thats not too big.
