Interesting you should mention burms, as they are also on my list, although frankly they are a long shot for me in terms of the resources needed for such a big animal, but i am really enamored with them. Of course i've heard of their great docile nature, but what about handling - how much? how often? I take my boa out most nights, not every night of course, but easily 4 to 5 times a week for an hour or 2 - watching a movie, working on the computer with him around my shoulders. Now i realize that physically interactions will be different once they get to size, but does this kind of frequency sound unhealthy for a burm?
