How big do burms they get?

[DrunkShadow]

How big (weigh/length) do burm. python get? What the avarage size of one? I have a ball python but like the burmese python.

[Zoe]

they get 20ft+ and 300lbs+.
NOT a snake you want to get unless you have years of experience and are prepared for a potentially huge snake that will need his own bedroom and bathtub.

Stick with smaller stuff for now

Zoe is right there they get to be monsters...lol
i have a few burm's and my oldest one is 2 1/2 years old at 14ft here are some pick's on what you would be in for

Normal 14ft 2 1/2 yrs
Green 10ft + 1 1/2 yrs
Albino 8ft 13 mounths give or take

Those are great burms! It's obviouse your feeding them the way they should be fed, good for you. I once saw a burm that was 4yrs old and smaller then a BCI. Keep em cold and keep em hungry, the cry of the neglectful burm keeper.
Great snakes congrats!

Those snakes look even better in person!! i saw them a little while ago...they are simply beautiful......i still want ur albino..lol

[DrunkShadow]

Wow, burms are killers. i didnt know they get that big. Wow im surprised. they are beautiful, and i love them a lot, but im not experiencd in snakes so ill wait a while. Any other kind of suggestion for a new snake? I have a ball, but want to get another snake. Are boa's good or do they bite. any help?

[Zoe]

Boas are great! Some species stay as small as 2ft, others 4-5, and others 10ft. They are usually quite tame (short of ETBs and ATBs).
You could also look into carpet pythons.

i have two 8 foot boas, they are great, when they go on parties i get about 8 kids to hold it while they get their pics done, and the snakes don't mind as long as your gentle with them! i wouldn't reccommend doing something that would make them wanna bite you!!

[Zoe]

Yep... that's the first thing I tell kids who hold my snakes is to act like a tree.

[DrunkShadow]

How big do boa's get (length/weight) ? Are they as tame as ball pythons? How much are they usually ?

[NewLineReptile]

Thank's Ladyhawke and every one else for the nice word's

Well there are many snake's you could get that would be good for you but as you said you are not experienced with snake's so what i would do is find a type of snake that you would like and get all the info you can on the snake and see if you could provied what it would take to own and care for that type of snake

good luck

wow 10 feet at 18 months old? got one that's about 3 months now and he's about 3 feet or so (not mesaured, just using naked eye). I knew they grew first their first year but i didn't know i was about to have a 10 ft beast runnin ammock

[Zoe]

It depends on the species.

There are Kenyan Sand and Rosie Boas which get 2ft (apprx... don't know the exactly number)
There are Hog Island Boas that get 4-5 ft
And there are BCIs and BCCs (Colombian Red-Tailed Boas and Guyana/Suranime Red-Tailed Boas) that get 7-11 ft. Not sure on weight though.

They are usually very tame. My girl is the sweetest thing I've ever come across! Hog Islands have a rep for being a little moody, but not big deal.

They go for 120-200$, average. Some are more expensive, like Hoggs.
