However, I'm unsure if this is really the time to make the jump you say you were waiting for.

I'm not trying to be an *** but that stuff is pretty basic and giants cannot be taken lightly as much as some people feel they can be.
Be sure to do a LOT more research going forward if you plan to keep it.

Here's the thing. The reason I am having trouble identifying if the snake was a Burm or a ball is that they look very similar. She is two years old, as the guy has pictures of her from two years ago, and she has been in the 30 gallon aquarium. I don't think it's fair of you to judge me based on a few questions I have asked, that after researching have come up with mixed answers. People like you scare away newcomers to the forum, I think you need to get off your high horse and give me a chance before you instantly accuse me of not knowing basic information. I came her for answers, not to be judged. If you asked me a question about how to fix a car, I would try to help you, not tell you you have made a mistake and should stick to riding a bike.
To answer a few of the questions, yes she is a female, and yes she is at least two years old, which is why I wasn't quite sure if a Burm would be restricted to growth based in size of aquarium and being very underfed. Now, do you still think it's possible a Burm would only be 4.5 feet after two years? I've looked up dozens of articles, and have never seen a single instance of a snakes growth being stunted that much. Maybe you think it's not the right time, but the reason I am making sure of these things is because I DO. I can assure you I do not take any snakes lightly.
