I wish I could own a Burm!

[PureLine Exotics]

i have quite a few snakes and i love em all, but my biggest boa is 8 feet long at 25 lbs. If there were any snake i could own it would be a burm. Every burmese python i have seen has dazzled me with their colour and their markings. Except i live in Alberta Canada and they are banned here :( Although it is very cold outside and just snowed 3 feet two days ago, i am not allowed to own a pet burm :( so basically i am really bored today and if anyone else is haha i want to see your burms! post some pics of your giant beauties! :D

Burms are beautiful, it sucks that they are banned :( Sadly I don't own one either...

Oddly enough, Even though Anacondas Retics and African Rocks are banned here in Iowa, Burms are not. I dont think Ill ever own one though as much as Id like to. I just dont have the housing for them.

I loved my burms..they were awesome.Banned here now as well:no:

Once my reptile room is done we are getting a burm. Before any ban happens here.
I have noticed many for sale now as " snake of Burma" to avoid any trouble.

Come on people, the lady wanted pictures and to be cheered up, not more woes :-)

Is reptile world in Drumheller still around? They had a pile of them all housed together the last time I was there (which was admittedly about 9 years ago)

" snake of Burma"

Thats funny.

[PureLine Exotics]

haha that is funny. i haven't been to drumheller in 7 years so we are on the same boat!

Kyle or someone will need to correct me here, but I'm 99% sure that burmese pythons and dwarf burms have different scientific names (dwarves are a locale) Depending on how the laws are written you may be legally able to get a dwarf Burmese python.

[PureLine Exotics]

hmm ill have to look into that. although what i love most about the burm is its size :D

[stephanbakir]

You could always get a dwarf and powerfeed it :P I dont generally endorse power feeding but I have a few friends who got dwarf and sd retics to huge sizes be feeding bigger prey

[millertime89]

dwarf burms are Python bivittatus progschai or python molurus bivittatus progschai depending on who you ask. Mainlands are Python bivittatus bivittatus or Python molurus bivittatus.

If you want a dwarf you had better hurry, despite the fact that its not actually a law yet many people are going to stop shipping burms on March 23rd in the states. Although export is still legal for you people up north. I don't know if there are any available in Canada.

[PureLine Exotics]

what thats crazy i will definitely have to look into that. anybody know someone who would ship me a dwarf burm soon? haha
