I'm not letting anyone talk me out of it, it really all depends on if we find a place in PA. That's what it boils down to. I am planning very far ahead...that's what this thread is for.Originally Posted by drama x
Its very confusing. I have been to numerous sites and it just varies too much to get a real measurement on housing. I agree that lots of people don't need to own such animals, but id like to think I'm mindful enough to know what I'm getting into. I have looked at food prices (xxl rats/ rabbits) and it would be quite pricey, but chances are I won't have one if I get one until I get my BSN degree in which I should be making good money along with my gf who will be a nurse as well.I will agree with ONE thing the OP said.. cage size. There are WAY to many opinions.. even people with snappers burms have there opinions.. I asked retic/Burmese owners at Tinley about cage size. I got FIVE different answers.. even I must say, I'm a little stumped on it...
Remember this.. food adds up. My four balls in 1 month eat what my burm eats in a week two tops. And he's still recovering from his RI. (Putting on some good weight.)
I really don't think a lot of inexperienced people jumping to larger snakes is helpful... the ban may have "stimulated" the sales... but I really don't think a lot of people should own them.. I'm not saying you're bad. Don't take that. But they're A LOT of people out there who shouldn't...
As long as you think ahead and understand I don't know why you shouldn't. If you can house it and care for it.then all power to You.
I'll also say... having a Burmese bite you and coil around you isn't fun.just a fyi...lol
I have actually looked at them and they are a possibility as well. Thanks for the recommendation.
I will make sure I know every detail of care and handling a large snake before I get one. I've never been an impulse buyer.
