I think I may go with a burm. My boyfriend is against the idea, saying that they get so big. But I have seem burms who were over 10 years old and they maxxed out at around ten feet long. This does not strike me as terrrrible long. I told him that once I master the art of larger snakekeeping (read: when my bci grows to adulthood) then I will consider getting a burm. But he still gave me that "you're crazy" look.
