How much are burms?

[matrix1829]

albino hatchlings are about 300$, but i havn't seen any hatchling albinos for the past 2 years.

Normally I say the price doesn't matter, it's what people do with the Reptile they buy. In the early days a Burm was sold at a high price, which was good because most people take good care of an expensive animal. Now the price is so low anyone can buy a Burm and I think most of them don't care if it dies because they can easily buy another one.

I agree that it may have been better when the prices were higher. At the last show I was at I saw balls for $5 and burms as low as $20. At prices that low I think they are being condemmed as disposable snakes.

I agree 100% all people think of is money now a days, we should be thinking of the animal. I mean it is after all a breathing, living beeing!!!!!!!!

If you can get 30-50$ us take it. But Ed_r has the real price.

In the U.S snake's go cheap i just came back from Florida and i went to a pet store and saw Burms for $75 U.S and a 7ft Coastal carpet for $99 i think this is why the U.S has such big problem's with all the bigger snake's that are in rescues and that are abanded right now i own 1 14ft normal burm 1 10ft Green burm 1 8ft Albino burm and 1 4ft normal and many othe lage snakes and i don't think that i payed under $150 for any of my Burms in canadian money

sd-snake what are all those stars supose to mean?

But at least the $20 Burms are captive-bred, whereas the $5 Balls are wild-caught. The Burms are the lesser of the 2 evils, but still sad nonetheless. I think 90% of the herper population should steer clear of the Big 5 boids.

Ok, I haven’t measured her in awhile, I tried to re-measure last night and she is over 3 ½ feet. We didn’t power feed, I honestly don’t think we underfeed either. She, along with the rest of her clutch (~12), had some weird problem where none of them would eat. She wouldn’t take food for several months, and that is from birth! Anyway, whatever it was is long over with and she eats f/t like a pro. I unfortunately have to find her a new home because I am moving to Hawaii and it’s illegal to bring snakes to the islands. http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/showt...threadid=19215
I believe I pad something near $150 for her down in FL. I am now in CT and I heard that they cost more up here. Regardless of cost I just want her to go to a good home, but I also want to be knowledgeable in a transaction. Any honest-to-goodness-I-love-burms-and-have-the-room-to-care-and-support-and-be-faithful-to-anyone’s-burm people out there? No “reptile rescuers” please.
