You posted this in "General BPs", and here you have all the mini python lovers, a third of which would strangle a burmese to keep 10 more ball pythons.
But consider rising to the challenge. I mean, deep down inside you, wouldnt you like to have a giant snake as a pet?
By the way, its possible to breed hybrids of burmese python and ball python
Best regards, and dont let the negativity towards your burmese in this thread overwhelm you.
Most are recommending the OP find the snake a new home because he may not be prepared to keep a giant: he even admitted this in post #10. Giants aren't a type of snake to take lightly, and though some start out with a giant and are just fine a lot of people ARE NOT ready (or able) to keep a giant. If the OP isn't comfortable with a giant then he should definitely find it a good home; there's nothing wrong with admitting what you can and cannot keep.
What does "a third of [us would] strangle and burm to keep 10 more BPs" even mean? Maybe I read it wrong but that rubbed me the wrong way.
Hybrid breeding is commonly frowned upon, I would personally not breed this burm to anything other than a burm if the OP keeps it. With the Lacey Act moving babies (even Burm hybrid babies that are under the Lacey Act now too) would be hard to do, but from the sounds of it the OP has no interest in breeding at this point in time anyway.
I see no negativity in this thread, only people giving advice which may be in the best interest to the OP and to the snake.
