All burms seem to grow that fast in the first year. I've heard of some making 10ft. in the first year and then slowing down. Never say never though. But 12-14ft is a good estimate for a male burm.

your male burm will probably never be 20ft long. The females are the ones that get big (i've seen a 25 footer) but i have never heard of a males even over 18 ft

20 ft is an excetionally large burm even for a female. I have seen very large burms that people have claimed are more than 20ft and in actuality are about 14-15ft which is probably the average for a female. If anyone out there actually has a 20ft burm i would love to see it or pics shown with a scale to prove it.

THere is one burm that I KNOW of that is 20ft+. She is 26'10'', Baby. The chances are VERY slim but your chances are even lower due to the fact that you have a male. He will max out at about 12-15'.

my burm is a little over 4 months and has been growing 10 inches a month so far! I did a little research and they grow really fast in the first year. I did not know this cause my boa only grew like 3-4 inches per month. The growth of my burm was a little overwhelming at first, but hey I hope mine can get up to at least 16 feet. What I find beutiful about large snakes is there size.

Are you 100% certain it a male??
I had a female grow to 9.5' in her first year,and a male that only grew to 5'in his first year.
Also after 10' burms tend to start putting on weight rather then length which in it self makes them look much longer then they are.

Um Gareth.....I wouldnt "frown" at your snake not attaining such a lenght. I'm not sure you know the power of these animals. It isnt safe to handle an 8' plus snake.....imagine a 20 footer??
