Ideas to fill a 6 x 2 x 2

One of the giant species is nothing to rush into. Have you ever kept any large constrictors before? Are you truly ready for the male to reach the top of the general rule of size? What previous experience with constrictors do you have? Yes burms are cheap, but feeding a burm more expensive than say feeding a ball.

People rushing into getting a burm or tic is the reason there are so many rescues for adults. Someone may think they are prepared because they have a 4-5 foot snake so whats another few feet? A few feet in length can make a world of difference in girth and shear muscle. Do some research first. That little cute snake you'll buy will eventually turn into a giant. And if not taken care of and handled properly could become a monster.

Well I have handle and house sit for my friend who owns a 10 foot RTB.

I have owned all kinds of snakes, I had an RTB when I was 14 but my parents forced me to give it up because at the time it was getting in the way of my grades at school. the RTB was 7 feet long

The thing I can honestly say no about is being ready for it to top at 15 feet.

I may end up getting a RTB again, but thats only if I decide I wont be able to handle a 15 footer. Again I gotta think about it some more and if I decide 15 foot is reasonable and manageable for me, then ill get it

If not ill just get a female RTB

But again like I said I gotta think about it some more. I surely wont jump into it to fast. It was probably the wrong thing to just decide on owning a burm so quickly

So for sure I will think about it much more

Thanks!

another concern would be moving into a place with friends....good freakin' luck finding somebody to rent from that will allow a snake of such sheer size!

it's nice to hear that you're going to think it over some more though. it's definitely a decision i would sleep on for a long while.

be sure to post pictures when you are finished building the enclosure!

Yeha thats another thing, I would ofcourse have to find a place willing to have a snake that large in the building

Cant wait to post pictures of the enclosure As soon as I get the money to build it, im gonna do it asap LOL

Hmm.. I may get a Yellow anaconda I just saw a picture of one on a website that sells them and I love them

even if I got a female it would only stay like 12 foot like a RTB.
