At least in that video the guy didn't yell #@%&$! like someone else we know who got bitten by a retic not too long ago... Anyway, I think you should start with something smaller than a burm, like a Constrictor (4-12 feet in length. Maximum length ever attained is 14.5 feet). I read that they are pretty docile and aren't that hard to find in the pet trade.Originally Posted by MelissaFlipski
Um.... did you see the youtube video of 4 guys trying to get an anaconda's mouth off of one guy. Here it is if not:

I know a green anaconda is a lot larger than a Burmese, but still, you get the idea.
No offense to YOU, but I wouldn't trust two professional body guards to get a mad Burm off of me. So your comment about your "female fiancee" is equally true in reverse. The same goes for the other poster who comments on his girlfriend's ability to help him. The only thing that might help anyway is a bottle of alcohol to get the giant to release. So alcohol can be good afterall!
But I still think that an experienced handler who has a love for Burms should go for it. I wish I had the space/courage/money to do it myself.
One more thing, school buses weight a lot more than 2,900 lbs. Of course, I still wouldn't want a large python squeezing me! But here are some school bus facts for you:

Now, back to the original OP, sounds like you are on the right path of research, etc. Kudos to you and good luck. I am sure you will do what is right for you. I am jealous!
