Talking I wish I could own a Burm!

i have quite a few snakes and i love em all, but my biggest boa is 8 feet long at 25 lbs. If there were any snake i could own it would be a burm. Every burmese python i have seen has dazzled me with their colour and their markings. Except i live in Alberta Canada and they are banned here Although it is very cold outside and just snowed 3 feet two days ago, i am not allowed to own a pet burm so basically i am really bored today and if anyone else is haha i want to see your burms! post some pics of your giant beauties!

Oddly enough, Even though Anacondas Retics and African Rocks are banned here in Iowa, Burms are not. I dont think Ill ever own one though as much as Id like to. I just dont have the housing for them.

Re: I wish I could own a Burm!

Once my reptile room is done we are getting a burm. Before any ban happens here.
I have noticed many for sale now as " snake of Burma" to avoid any trouble.

Re: I wish I could own a Burm!

Is reptile world in Drumheller still around? They had a pile of them all housed together the last time I was there (which was admittedly about 9 years ago)

Re: I wish I could own a Burm!

Kyle or someone will need to correct me here, but I'm 99% sure that burmese pythons and dwarf burms have different scientific names (dwarves are a locale) Depending on how the laws are written you may be legally able to get a dwarf Burmese python.

Re: I wish I could own a Burm!

dwarf burms are Python bivittatus progschai or python molurus bivittatus progschai depending on who you ask. Mainlands are Python bivittatus bivittatus or Python molurus bivittatus.

If you want a dwarf you had better hurry, despite the fact that its not actually a law yet many people are going to stop shipping burms on March 23rd in the states. Although export is still legal for you people up north. I don't know if there are any available in Canada.
