Long time lurker, I created this account specifically because I need to share my excitement and hope to connect with other keepers.

To preface, I have been keeping reptiles for 17 years. I never thought I could have a giant snake due to space. Well, my partner and I just bought a property in desert country and this baby will have a 10x10 outdoor enclosure as an adult (as well as an indoor for winter)

I’ve done a lot of research and settled on a male Burmese python. I love retics as well, but from what I’ve seen the males just don’t always have the best attitude once they reach maturity. Also, I am a relatively smaller female, and while my partner will be around for handling, we’re more comfortable with a male- yes, he’ll still get huge, but not 18 ft 200lbs huge lol

Were thinking of naming him Jamal. It means beauty and he is beautiful but it’s also funny because he has a derpy face. He’s coming next week after the crazy holiday weekend is over.

I’ll post a pic as a reply here since I’m still learning how to navigate the forum.
