    On burms and safety:

    Keep in mind that of all the large constrictor deaths on record, something like 2/3 or more have been by burms. Now there are a variety of reasons for this (popularity back in the 90s not the least of them).

    However when it comes to large constrictor snakes, while a burm can overpower a lone person, I'm of the opinion that a prepared duo can prevent death in any case of a burm deciding to bite and wrap.

    Nice pic I used to have burmese I sold my last one about a year ago and now only have ball pythons.
    I did like the big snakes but the fact that it took 2 people to handle them safely just got to be more than I wanted to do anymore.
    I had them for a long time but for me it was time to downsize.
