Possibly getting a baby Burmese

[§eric§]

So my local pet shop just got in a baby Burmese python. VERY GORGEOUS SNAKE!!! The owner is selling it for 120 bucks. Good price?

I also get to do payments on it, I really want it, its very sweet, not headshy and just gorgeous.

So how many of you guys have pictures that I can see of their baby Burms? I just love looking at everyones pics.. sorry for being such a nerd

No, it's a horrible price, and there's no way in hell you should be getting a burm when you are still housing 2 bp's together on the advice of this expert. Just my

What are your plans on housing a burm? It seems as if this is merely an impulse buy .

Alright, well heres the deal with the housing thing. Everyone around this area, as I have stated several times, have kept their ball pythons in the same container, since the other day, I did seperate them, from seeing the possiblities... though, most of the people around here...including some of the reptile breeders, have had no problem. So to them, I guess its just pure luck or whatever *possibly* But yes, I did seperate them, and I'd like to thank people for the extra input on that, but definately no reason to be rude at all. Thanks

I also know of the size that they do get, but my plans for housing is to start out with a 60 gallon reptile tank... then eventually once it starts growing more, custom building one to house it in.

I guess my question is why are you so set in getting a burmese already.

When it gets 8-9 feet how do you plan on handeling it? Feeding it?

But in the end its up to you....wish you luck with whatever you choose.

Im not exactly "set" on getting it, I said I wanted one, but that most definately didnt mean that I would get one... I was just more interested in getting to know more about the species.

I mean, Ive been around several 8-10 ft. snakes constantly from having several breeders and friends with snakes, but it doesnt mean Im going to definately get one, as Im sure with alot ppl on here, they'll say "I want that" or something, that doesnt really mean that they *should* have that. Ya know?

Honestly the only reason I even signed up on this site, was to show some of my babies to people, and get new information on other species.

Im sorry if I came off negative or someone else on this site came off negative.

I thought you were going to get one for sure, guess I read your post wrong.

Oh, No, Im sure I probably did word it in that manner, trust me its been a long day! ha. But no, sorry I didnt mean to come across as rude if I did.
But no, Im just very interested in this snake myself.

Well I am glad to hear they are seperated, that's great news! I didn't realize you had corrected your husbandry, or I wouldn't have been rude.

But I was being honest in my opinion, and I really do think that's a horrid price for a burm. I'm no expert, though
