Two questions about Burms

[dkatz4]

I got my first burm last year so I am definitely not the expert. But I must say I do really enjoy having her out of her enclosure. I love "fun" snakes which attracted me to retics and then a carpet python. But I also wanted something I can just chill out with. My girlfriend has boas and a ball python so I wanted something different. Looked into burms and fell in love. She is a lot more active than the boa but not near the retic so she's a good in between. She moves around a lot in her enclosure as well and spends a lot of time in her water dish playing and blowing bubbles. It's pretty cute lol. Or she'll just put her head up against the glass and stare at me until I take her out. Anyways sorry for rambling on. Point is in my opinion burms are awesome as long as you're ready for everything that comes along with their size. Obviously each snake has their own personality but the ones I've interacted with have been great

Please, ramble on! The more information the better and I could read about this stuff all day. Your description actually hit the nail right on the head in terms of what I was looking for. Something between a boa and a retic.

While I have some ears, let me ask another behavioral question: do they climb? While thinking of getting another boa I've been planning on incorporating a lot of height into an enclosure to accommodate their arboreal tendencies. My understanding is that Burms are far less inclined to go vertical – however, my understanding is severely limited so I would love some info on this.
