Re: Dwarf Burms maxing appx 6'?
DLena I'm also drooling over these dwarf burms and contacted the fellas at Prehistoric Pets as they seem to be the foremost experts with burms. They advised me the dwarf burms are ill tempered and will go for the eyes and not a very handle-able snake and advised against me purchasing one from them. Not sure that's a good review of their blood line or sales tactics lol

I like Jay, and if thats his experience i respect his honesty. Ive heard a lot of good things about him. Then again self made business men that love what they do are some of the best people to get strait answers from i think. I talk 30/40 people out of having their driveways done each year And tell them to call me in the future when it becomes a necessity...
I wonder if breeders in the UK have a different line or something thats docile... Ive also heard of Burmballs. Who knows what kind of Hybrids have gotten around and labeled as Dwarfs.

I have a pair of 6/2016 olives that arrived early April. Their feeding response is insane. They were eating f/t rat fuzzies, but the breeder suggested moving them up to small rat pups. My rat pups are on the large size, so I've still been doing the fuzzies. The female takes the fuzzy, strangles it more dead then drops it, lays on it, then starts striking the side of the bin. I've covered it and gone back to my desk (my "office" shares space with quarantine) and she keeps it up for a good 15-20 minutes. I don't want her to damage her nose, so I give her a second one. That one she eats. The first one...I remove the carcass the next morning because she NEVER eats the first one, only the second one. The first time I fed her, I just left the one in with her and she wouldn't eat it. The second feeding attempt was made 3 days later, and that's when I began offering the two and she began happily eating the second one. The male eats normally, but strikes so hard his momentum carries him half his length. I've got nothing in my collection that responds like this. Whoa

The dwarf burn breeder said they are a handful... I'll pass. Mr. Sully, I'll let you know if anything else hits my radar screen. Please do the same for me.

LMAO - their quirks and habits are sometimes entertaining, and a little frustrating I'm sure.

I agree with you in that I respect his opinion. I watch his youtube and he's got a handle on things that's for certain. I'd rather have someone with his experience talk me out of it instead of making the quick buck to sell me something he knows I wouldn't like in the long run.
Too bad you're not closer to me, my driveway needs an 8'x10' repair.

Re: Dwarf Burms maxing appx 6'?
I agree with that and its hard t find someone that doesn't just try to unload their inventory on you.
As far as that driveway, if you need advice PM me and I'll give you the options for how it can be fixed and the 2 different prices you should pay depending on how its done
