Just thought i'd share!:D

These pics are from after she cooled down. This is at the local reptile store. she is about 9 foot or so. looks small in pics but she was quite impressive in person. She was the most aggressive burm they had. She struck a few times but cooled down after a bit.

Surpisingly she is 4 years old. Not too sure why but she is the smallest 4 year old burm i've seen especially at that age.

She's pretty, that's for sure.

Lol i was actually thinking that exact thing. Especially when he throws in a hiss louder than a jet engine

[alessia55]

Well done! ;)
She's beautiful!! Great pics

My goodness! I don't even think I could pick her up. Do you know how much she weighs?

[exwizard]

Beautiful Burm. That actually looks like a lot of fun. :)

[moshirimon]

Lol wizard it was. I love a snake that's challenging to hold.

And tinkerbell she weighed around 70 pounds, give or take

That's a good-lookin' store actually. They pretty knowledgeable?

[moshirimon]

Yea they definitely know what they're doing. Theres two reptile stores in my area and this one is the more reliable one. I can always go to them for help. and they have definitely renovated over the years.

My reptile addiction actually started from this store! I had my 8th birthday here way way back (different owners, different looks) and ever since then i fell inlove. shortly after, I purchased a leopard gecko that started it all.

Looks pretty aggresdiv. Is that in Hamilton

[moshirimon]

yea even still he was handlable. Most aggresion in big pythons is usually food related in my opinion.

and yes it is

I've met a few bitchy Burms. Though, I'm not quite sure I've ever met a friendly ARP and in my experience Retics are about 50/50.

[moshirimon]

Retics have a much stronger feeding response and they're a little harder to duck or dodge lol. They are physically more dangerous than burms in my opinion. Real aggression has been bred out of them in my opinion, and I believe this canhappen with the af rocks too. (I hope it does, those guys are beautiful)

[dehlol]

Burms in my experience also have a higher tendency to accidentally feeding response grab you when they get excited. My retic has an amazing feeding response but he always knows who I am, and what dinner is, and gets excited for dinner, but never comes after me in the process.

[millertime89]

Retics tend to be very cage defensive, once you get them out they're generally ok, but they want to be EVERYWHERE and are very active snakes, which is evident in their body type when compared to Burms.
