Hey Ginevive
There is going to be a huge difference between owning and caring for a Burm than that of a bci. Your bci when adulthood is hit will actually hit most likely 7-8' its rare that they hit the 10' mark. Also they are naturally a more docile snake however having said that they are still wild and unpredictible. Now when dealing with a burm your going to have to understand that this is not a snake you'll be caring for by yourself in anyway. So you might want to get your bf's approvel because when that burm hits the 8' mark he's gonna be helping you out alot with it. They are no joke and a job they are. I'm not meaning to make you feel bad with what I'm saying but I just want you to really consider what it is your getting yourself into before you get into it and its a huge responsibility because that snake is gonna live for YEARS I think respectivly like 25-30yrs could be more than that. But thats a 15-18' snake that 2 people have to be committed to plus have the room for and are going to be living with for the next 25-30yrs not to mention the food bill will be off the charts. So getting a burm is cool and all just think about it in every possible asspect before you get it and then if you decide to get it POST PICS cause everybody here is a Pic Freak LOL.
