Help me identify my snake

[JodanOrNoDan]

I believe it 100%, retics and burms are sold around here all the time.

I live in the land of the "burm invasion", so my opinion may be a little skewed, but a few simple questions to the buyer maybe? Have you ever cared for a snake? Do you have small pets or children in the house? Do you have the room and finances to care for an animal this size? Who will take care of it if you can't? Like I said in another thread, just another reason I would not make a good pet shop owner. All that said, once I don't have small kids running around the house, my back holds up, and I can get the permit; this is the animal I want. I have been in love with albino burms since I saw my first one.

How does this happen? Did you point at that snake and say "I want that one" and buy it or did you ask for a corn snake and were sold that snake? I don't think you are grasping what that little snake is going to become. Not a lot is adding up here. It's interesting that you posted this is the Giant Python section. Unless you were just asking about the morph and didn't make yourself clear. This smells funny either way.

Almost positive this was under site info when I first saw it. One of the mods might have moved it after it was identified.

Hopefully the op keeps asking questions for help on care and protocols for an adult giant. If they were serious of course

I am with those that something doesn't add up, so I will skip over the circumstances of possession. What I will weigh in on is how you, Kevin, should proceed. This is not a snake for a beginner period. When it is fully grown it will capable of causing you serious bodily harm if not kill you. It will require at least two people to handle safely, do you have someone who can help you? Preferably someone with experience with giant snakes. Also you will need a reliable source of large prey items, have you located this? You will need an enclosure with 4'x8' of floor space that is likely built by a professional as they are very strong animals. Do you have the money to support all it's housing, feeding, as well as medical needs?

If you want my opinion you I think you should look at how to get a snake better suited to your experience level. I would first contact the breeder/seller and see if you can get your money back. If not try to rehome it to someone with more experience, possibly even trade for a smaller species. I think you would do well with a corn snake or ball python for your first snake, but there are many options.
