    or i was thinking maybe a little bit of the above but with Burms - it seems because of import crack downs, unfair anti-snake laws in the US, and the drive to produce new morphs all original locality info on Burms seems lost - i’ve looked and looked and looked and i have yet to see any pure locality Burm and when i got mine i asked and asked and couldn’t get any info on this - just generic/genetic info
