Green / Patternless Burms

[spikella]

I'm looking for information on the colours of adult Green Burms. I've seen very few pictures of full grown Green/Patternless Burms and I'd like to get a female one. I have daydreams of breeding with my 3 year old male albino, but she would firstly be a pet.

Do any of them retain the olive colour from hatchling at all?

Also, what size do the females tend to top out at?

Since i've seen/read so little about this guys as adults, i'm also wondering if they're life span is short or if they're somehow less hardy/more difficult than the regular burms

They are still fairly new, that's at least partly why you haven't seen many pics of adult ones. I'd personally get an albino green especially if you already have an albino. They are about the same price which is cool, and at least here more common. I'm sorry I don't have any pics for you, but I'll look. My hd crashed and was reformatted, otherwise I had a few pics. To my knowledge they attain the same lengths with roughly the same temperments. Most tend to fade a bit as they get older I guess, but I'm sure some might keep that darker olive color you like. In 2 weeks I'm getting an 11' patternless female african rock python(similar to burm) that looks just like a green burm except she has a couple pinstripes instead of that morse code on the neck thing the burms have.

Here's Jadis:

nice!
i don't have any real interaction with Rock Pythons at all. how are they temperment wise?

and that's a beautiful snake you're getting there

as for the albino patternless.... i know they're more common these days (which i don't quite understand), but for some reason, they just aren't as pretty to me. The little olive coloured hatchlings look so beautiful but the very few pictures i've seen of sub-adults/yearlings always show them in a brownish/yellow phase.

Ya, they do look rather yellowish and faded as adults, wish they were more of the color of the little pattern that they do have.

Rocks are great snakes. Very much like burms except more active, hiss more, and some are kinda mean like their reputation. 3 of my 4 hiss whenever someone's near, and 2 of those would bite/strike sometimes, but the others are great. All of mine will try to get out of your hands for hours it seems like, never wanting to sit still, so they need a bit bigger of a cage than burms. I'm sure as more people breed them they will mellow out and be cool. I'll be breeding Jadis as soon as I can, hopefully in a month or 2 after she settles in here. She's going with a normal male and I'll keep one of the het males I get to breed to my het striped female that's still a baby. I hope to be able to have enough money that way to buy one of the first albinos if they ever get some.
