question about burms

[Kara]

Another thing to keep in mind is that Maine goes by an "unrestricted" species list as far as legal herps go. Anything not on the list requires a permit that is VERY (read: act of Congress) difficult to obtain. The unrestricted list is as follows:

Boa Constrictor (Boa c. constrictor)
Ball Python (Python regius) (CB, due to ticks)
Rainbow Boas (Epicrates cenchrin) ssp
Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata)
Jungle Carpet Python (Morelia spilota) ssp
Children's Python (Antaresia childreni)
Kenyan Sand Boa (Eryx colubrinus loveridgei) (CB)
Rough Scaled Sand Boa (Eryx conicus) (CB)

Glad I don't live in Maine.
Wouldn't be able to have my bloods.

So at 19 yrs old you're going to be making enough money for your own place, car/car insurance/gas/maintenance, utilities, cell phone, cable, renter's/homeowner's insurance, clothes, food for you etc... and huge snake like that and all that goes with it? Big cage, expensive food, vet bills(forseen and unforseen), supplies etc... Not to mention having a savings is nice and you're going to want a nice TV/stereo, furnishings, stuff to make your place look cool(besides the snake lol) etc...

Not trying to be a wet blanket or burst your bubble but seriously at 15 you have no idea what the real, living/supporting yourself world is like. You're probably thinking "don't worry I know all about what I'll have to do and have it covered". My response to this is, "I thought that too". If you do indeed wind up making it work then more power to you but don't be dissapointed if you have to wait until you get a steady, secure job that pays enough for you and yours.

yea man for real i thought that when i graduated and moved out and it bite me hard in the rear i just moved back in with family to get resettled and start over. At one point i had a pitbull and cetral american boa a black racer a veiled chameleon and myself to feed, house get check ups done. its not easy at all. My social life went rite out the window. now i have my baby retic and thats enough for me. i would definatly recomend trying a little smaller snake first im a fan of the malckots myself.

Don't get a burm if you are planning on going to college and still keeping the snake.

I doubt your parents want to be the ones taking care of it when its 10 feet long and you are away living in a dorm room that doesn't allow hamsters, let alone giant pythons.
