    Like everyone has already said, best you don't get ANY new animals right now!! For all the reasons that have been given.

    Now, if you are just going to disregard this advice because you want one no matter what, at least don't get a Burmese !!! That is NOT an animal you give to someone that doesn't know snakes.

    They can have a HUGE feeding response and if your not good at reading their body language, it can get painful, or even dangerous. And what about the snake ? If someone is intimidated by it, how good of care will that animal receive you think? How clean will the enclosure be?

    Stuff can happen to anyone, at any time. There are no guarantees in life. Even people that plan on keeping animals for their life sometimes have to give them away / sell them. But with you, there are no "maybes" you already KNOW you will be leaving.

    If you want an albino Ball Python so bad, make sure there will be someone knowledgeable ready and willing to take this snake and your other animals when you leave. If you get one, enjoy it. Forget about breeding. 2 years is just enough time to safely grow them to adult size.

    And the Burmese? Don't think its all that easy to sell one. Especially since it will be YOUR responsibility to make sure it ends up in a home where it will be safe and the owners are safe from it and know what they are doing. Its cruel to get an animal if you already know you just want to enjoy it for a couple of years and then get rid of it.

    Ultimately, its up to you. But...just do the right thing.
