    Re: Do you think its a problem.

    I'm not sure I understand. Your friends bought you a Burmese python because they felt bad that your Ball is having trouble eating?

    In any case, if you don't want the Burmese or don't think you can take care of a 20+ foot snake, then I would look into returning it or finding it a better home. If you're having difficulty with your Ball, then I would concentrate on fixing that problem for now.

    Good luck.

    A burm is a big commitment.. I would definitely see if you can return it. You should get the problems sorted out with your ball python before attempting a snake like a burm.. they grow several feet a year (my 2 y/o male is about 8' ..females are larger)

    Hi ,
    Yes , i am returning the baby burmese back although it was bought from the net and shipped over the middel east... must now find a place for this snake. Friends only wanted to do good , but hey cannot blame them . Hmmm i think i have found someone who might help by taking it . He is already taking care of some big VIP stars pets here on the island.
    So i hope he will be happy to take it. From my side i will again try to feed my ball python , a good sign is that he is drinking water and constantly hydrated
    Again thank you for your support
    All the best
    DAVIDOFF
