1 year hypo Burmese update

IW17 · 12-15-16, 03:37 PM

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.

That is one stunning snake

He's lovely mate and I wouldn't worry about him hissing it's a burm thing

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Gah dang I'm jealous. Beautiful snake!

Dangit! Why do burms have to get so big?!?! That is one gorgeous snake man!
