interesting situation

To-skater only W/c Burms atain that size because of line breeding because people breed for color not size. females are usually 14-17 feet but usually more in the middle range But they can attain larger sizes males are usually 9-13 or so wild caught burms are a different story though

I would suggest you to sell or trade the snake since as you (sincerely) admit that you are not ready to have a burmese python, which is totaly acceptable and important from you to say so. You could trade it with a normal Ball python, Boa constr. imperator or if you want something more colorful, try a Brazilian rainbow boa. Advise, you can ask everyone about everything here in ssnakess. As you see, we all want to help each other.
By doing a search on Google (images), next time you will be sure that an albino Ball python is not an albino burmese
Best of luck to you and your snake.

A trade is in the works right now.

It would be great to meet you guys in person. It is nice looking burm. I would feed one appropriately sized rat every 6 days, because you don't want to overdo and cause stress on her digestive system. I can understand not being ready for a burm, they are a HUGE responsibility, in more ways than one. I personally love mine, and don't think I could bear to part with her........lol

LOL, like I said at the begining of this "Hey Beth, wheres the dog?" Neither of us are prepared for a giant, we have a trade in the works for a cute Boa, just gotta work out the final details.


Meeting fanciers and gaining knowledge is important to us, the knowledge is more important to me than anything.

Hey Jason, RC sexed it this weekend and it is a female. (she took it well, with her normal "ok fine" additude)

So far I find this forum most helpful and enjoy the debate and chance to learn more about snakes in general.

thats good to hear
a word of advise, dont trust any body in the reptile pet trade, you'll find most breeders know what there talking about but hear in england most of the exotic pet shops are not up to scratch. Out of the 7 shops i visit, theres only two that i trust to buy from and trust the info they give me, 4 of the others have bad quality animals being kept in poor condisions and the other 1 only sells dead rodents (good though, but no reptile experts) 2 out of 7 is diaboicall
As if thats not bad enough, i go and read about a burm being sold as a ball, a snake that could actually kill a grown man! *shakes head*
any way, good luck and be carfull
