New Burm! "Dexter " the Pearl Burmese python progression thread

[KevinK]

Well guys and gals, I finally caved in after researching Burms for quite a long time. ...and purchased a male Pearl (hypo albino) 66% poss het granite Burm tonight. Pairing was a female Albino het granite x male Ivory het albino het granite poss het labyrinth. The labyrinth het has not been proven from the male so there is a very slight chance my boy could be het labyrinth as well.....I wasn't worried so much about the hets as I have no intentions to breed but it's just icing on the cake.

He is set to arrive in late March or early April (weather permitting of course).....as its 6 degrees and snowing in central Wisconsin right now.

Definitely having an adult beverage or two tonight.



More pictures to come once he arrives!

Grats on the worm. And that wait for March/April is going to be a LONG wait lol. I get antsy trying to sleep 2 days before i have a snake shipped to me, I couldnt imagine 2 months haha.

Tell me about it! I actually MapQuested the distance and time for a drive from Wisconsin to Kansas (where he's coming from) but I just don't feel like driving that long and I don't think the airlines want you to have a baby Burm in your carry-on lol.

Hmmm.. Thats a interesting idea.. But I dont think it would pass the X-Ray machine

I would want to see that image! ....maybe hide him in a bag of trail mix or something

I actually thought about taking a Greyhound for the first time in my life as well because they don't really check bags but I ultimately came to the conclusion that I"m just going to have to wait.

Thats a good idea actually. Just have the breeder pack him the same way he would with heat packs ect.. Might cost $150-$200 for round trip Bus fair but save $50 on shipping. I couldn't wait 2-3 months.

I think with all the terminal transfers and everything considered I'm just going to have to be patient. It's like a 9 hour drive directly or an 18 hour bus trip one way with transfers in Chicago and Kansas City (pretty sketchy lol). Who knows though....maybe we will get a couple 40 degree days in February

[CALM Pythons]

Its suppose to be 48 by the end of the week for 2 days.. Its -7 here now in NY but this Sat 48. Crazy weather. Keep a eye on 10 day forecast and you might find a week thats 40+

This Saturday and Sunday it's supposed to be 40 exactly....but I would like a solid week of 45+ ideally. I just don't completely trust weathermen for obvious reasons lol. Will keep an eye out!

Very nice burm best wishes. Looking forward to seeing him grow.
