1 year hypo Burmese update

Well a little over a year ago I purchased my first Burmese. A hypo het albino male. I had him out today and snapped a few pics. His attitude is getting better, as he only hissed a bit coming out but didn't strike. Which is kinda his thing lol. He has only bitten me twice, but generally strikes quite a bit when he first comes out, so today is a big step forward. He seems a bit on the small side, as he is about 4' exactly, at a little over a year old. But his body structure seems good and he looks healthy so I'm not worried.

Re: 1 year hypo Burmese update

The only one of my snakes to hiss was my Pied ball python. He hissed at me the first 2 times I picked him up and after that he has been fine.

Re: 1 year hypo Burmese update

Great looking burm. I love the caramel looking coloration to him. Don't worry about him only being 4' at a year old. There nothing wrong with growing him at a moderate pace and having a healthy and not overweight burm.

Re: 1 year hypo Burmese update

Sorry mate just skim read this last night after I got in lol. I seen you've got used to the hissing thing already our 2 really do like to hear themselves so different from the retic. And as for his size like Dave mentioned he looks in brilliant shape . He's a beautiful hypo thanks for posting the pics we don't see enough giants on here

Yeah hissing I'm fine with. Honestly I'm not turned off by a snake that takes a swing at me from time to time, but when that snake is a full grown Burmese its quite different lol.

Thanks for the comments everyone. He's turning out to be quite a looker. Hypo burms have always been a goal for me, so it's nice to finally get to experience it.

Looking good man! Thanks for sharing pics. I bet his growth will really take off on his second or third year!
