Burmeese

IMO you are jumping wayyyy ahead of yourself.....you should really seriously re-think this. Burms are a responsibility that even some of the most experienced herpers here (myself included) cannot handle. I am just wondering....but why do you want a Burm? Is it because they get big and it will be "cool"? If so, you're getting one for all the wrong reasons. Please do not take this as "bashing".....this is a VERY serious matter and people who care about the animals and the hobby do not take giant snakes like Burms lightly.

If i had to choose to get a big python i would choose a Blood Python not a burmese these guys are way strong have damn impresive markings and weight like 60 Pounds. That tank would house a Blood perfectly.

Personally I don't think Maniac is ready for even a Blood.....IMO he needs to get keeping hi BP and Boa down before he takes a gigantic leap like a Blood or a Burm....and don't kid yourself, Bloods are not giants when compared to Burms....no comparison really. I apologize if I sound like a jerk, but thats not my intent, I only want to make him aware of what he is thinking of doing and what the consequences may be.

And i like the eyes on a blood python. They look very prehistoric.

maybe people would listen to you more if you werent such an ass about it david.

Maybe....but sometimes people need some "tough love" to open their eyes.

i can understand that. and im sure he really is thinking twice now. but i think you could have helped him the first time if your were more friendly towards him instead of straight up criticizing him. your making this place unfriendly.

I responded in the way that I did for a reason.....he is an abvious noob. Too often noobs get ahead of themselves and go on snake buying frenzies with no regard for responsibility or don't put any real thought into what they're doing. Burms are a responsibility I do not think he is ready for. This is my personal opinion and I have the right to share it. I'm sorry but thats the truth.....I won't sugar coat it because that doesn't work with some people *ahem*.

Tough Love doesnt work unless your my mother , ty.

In that case, does your mother know you want a Burm?
