All I am saying is you shouldn't take that as an infallible and set in stone, description of the species. If someone told me that, it would honestly just make me more curious to find out, regardless of the breeder's experience with OTHER reptiles, is it true?

At that point I would study my keister off and educate myself beyond what just one person has explained to me was their experience. that's all i'm sayin'!

I understand now. I haven’t been a snake owner very long, so I tend to assume that people with a lot of experience know what they’re talking about – I know that I should try and find out more on my own.

The reason I asked him, was because I LOVE the regular Burm, but their size makes it an inappropriate choice for my household – Although I’d love to have one. So I went over to Twin Cities Reptile, and the owner had one there. It’s a beautiful animal, but he did really have me thinking that all of them were this way. Hopeful after the CB program develops, some individuals will be produced with milder temperaments.
