lol yeah he needs a burm. While he does have snakes in his vids, he might be having a go at everyone.

i really appreciate you recognizing the need for strict, constructive criticism. i can't stand these types of people who post here, like OP. it's very easy to get upset, frustrated, and give up. however we can only offer our knowledge and hope for the best; beyond that is not our problem. i have not been the most welcoming to OP and i can't say i'm on your level of patience, but it is important to try. your post kind of roped me in.

That's funny, because I'm not a patient person in the least, but I've been in a similar situation when I was suddenly "gifted" with a dozen quail and I got a lot of help on another forum. I kind of feel for the OP on some level. Sometimes crap happens and you've just got to do your best.

The OP. Well to clarify, that's the channel that contains the other video he posted about how to feed a boa. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.

Well, ok then... different strokes for different folks. I just hope the animal doesn't end up suffering through all this and it works out somehow. Fingers crossed.

Yep. That's what's important.

Ok, I'm out I can see how he doesn't know a burm from a corn snake. That's all am going to say on the subject. He's not ready for a burm in the least little bit. I hope he listens to reason.

After catching up on your previous threads, you really need to have a long hard think about what is in his best interest. You mentioned you're looking for a girlfriend to help handle him when he's bigger. So say 10 years down the line you don't have anyone to help, are you not going to clean his viv out or feed him? Which doing yourself is not something advisable in the slightest. I'm not going to tell you wether to keep him or sell him as that's your call, but it's very important to know these things in advance. Everyone here only wants to make sure the snake will remain cared for and healthy. What ever you choose I wish you the best.

Just so everyone knows, the OP was misinformed, or so they said, and told their snake was a corn snake when they bought it. Whatever the case, they have the animal and need help taking care of it. They were prepared for a corn, not a Burm. Not saying they shouldn't rehome it or that it's okay to impulse buy, but there is no point berating them now, they hopefully have learned their lesson.

Hoooooow do you make that kind of mistake???😱😱😱

I guess people who rarely see pet snakes don't know any better. It's crazy to us, but not to everyone.

I'm not sure whats going on anymore. I don't agree you should get rid of it as when I was about his age, I dove in head first and bought a hatchling Nile Monitor off a breeder I knew and he grew into a giant puppy which Niles aren't known for. I did rehome him though as he simply outgrew what I could offer him. I didn't have the resources to build him a 10x5 cage.

The OP needs to read up on the snake and realize that a burm is going to be a big commitment. And the bigger it gets, the harder it is going to be to rehome it as most people wants baby snakes, not a huge 13' snake off the bat.

And if your reason to try and find a girlfriend is for someone to help you handle the snake, then I don't know what to say. My reasons for wanting a girlfriend at 19 sure weren't to help handle my monitor....or at least I didn't call it that but we'll leave it that as this is a family friendly board lol.

Bottom line is OP, you need to take a real hard look at if you will be able to financially and physically take care of a snake that will grow to at least 12'. If you have any doubts, best to rehome now while its a baby and just find a 'pet' girlfriend. They require more financially and physically but they do thing your snake cant and they don't require being fed a 5lb rabbit every week Good luck.

Yup, on a serious note, I'm confused. I really don't know what to think about all this...
...on a fun note, thanks, Sauzo, for giving me a chuckle.
