Your analogy is flawed. A car isn't a living creature.

Anyway, burms and ball pythons (even albinos) do NOT look alike. Seriously. I have been around a LONG time and this is the first I've ever heard that.
Also, again you didn't know the BASIC myth that enclosure size doesn't dictate growth rates.

I made a suggestion based on the information provided. If there's more to it than that it is your fault for not divulging the information. I can only go on what's been given to me. Sorry to burst your bubble.

P.S. Newcomers flock to this site regardless of me. I have been around forever and(getting on my high horse now) I have forgotten more about snakes than you'll ever learn.

So since they look so different, you're saying she is a Burm without a doubt?

Multiple people have already confirmed this.. Aaron made extremely valid points and I'm sure he wasn't the only one thinking what he said.

Perfect, thanks, that's all that was really needed. Have you ever heard of a snake with growth so stunted?

Also, I think breeding snakes for profit is part f the real problem there are so many snakes needing adoption.

Yes I've seen and heard of stunted snakes in a similar way. It's sadly not all that uncommon. A lot of misinformation out there.

How do you know it's always for profit?

Usually the goal of an "enterprise" is profit.

Anyways, we have stumbled quite far from the topic at hand and I would like to thank everybody who has helped, whether or not you believe I am capable of taking care of this beautiful snake.

Thanks!

John,

You say I made an assumption about you but then you go ahead and do the same. After your review it's quite clear I hit a "nerve" of yours.

Since you brought it up I figure I will divulge why I breed snakes.

I do it to pass along the passion I harbour for them. I love my snakes to no end. They are amazing creatures and I've been drawn to them since I was 3. I want to share that passion and help others experience there's and see there faces when they talk about it.
Yes I sell my snakes for money and I make a bit (usually just a break even) because it costs money to maintain my collection and my goals within my hobby. I can't keep every baby I produce so I sell them. Which really helps pass along the passion to new keepers. I love the excited feeling I get from someone buying their first snake from me and just being so pleased. Much like I was when I got my first 17 years ago.

As for why it's an "enterprise". I just like the name and I have plans for my hobby to incorporate other species so I wanted something a little more general to encompass that.

Aaron, perfect. You captured my exact thoughts to the original post and his response to yours with the car analogy. Thank you for having the guts to say what I was afraid to. Corns and Balls all the way to Burms is a huge leap, not a step. Bloods, Carpets, or RTBs would of been a more appropriate step.

At any rate, I wish you luck with your new giant and hope she gets all the care she deserves. Also, remember, your python probably came from a breeder in the beginning. Don't bite the hand that feeds, if you get what I'm saying.
