hi people do keep them hush hush but i think its also the case as Peter said there is not that many around
here is our pair that we got from peter they are around a year and a half and the female is not quite 3 foot
she is great to handle it didn't take long for her to clam down. the male is getting there but still abit feisty.
we keep them the same as normal Burmese with the exception that they do have a moss box hide, should they want it

female


Male

Yep beautiful snakes, I have a pair, not tried breeding them yet...maybe this year if I have the time & space.

I don't keep them any different to normal burmese other than smaller cage.

Mine are of CF origin and are VERY fiesty....they've calmed down a lot since I bought them (used to Bite and crap every time I even looked at them!....now they just bite Laughing ...actually they aren't too bad now, slow handling and they are fine).

Thanks for replying Peterf and Karr. Some really beautiful snakes there. I sigh every time I see their full size counterparts, but can't justify owning a snake that large in the sort of enclosure it would deserve, so these really are my best option of ever owning a Burm.

Peterf.........would you mind letting me know when you have more babies if you are selling any? Or if you happen to know of anyone that has any available I would appreciate it I would love a pair. Very Happy

I'm going to go and research living accommodation, temps etc and find as much info as I can in advance.

Thanks everyone, any more info or piccies, keep it coming Smile

I have a pair of 2003 animals. female is 5.5ft, male about 4.5ft.

I think, as with most in captivity, mine have a very poor attitude. the male can be handled for short periods. the female will not eat for a month if handled and will strike at the viv glass at every chance for a week after being handled . . and a very stout pair of gloves are required if handling is to be tried.

I keep mine hotter and more humid than my other burms as they are very susceptible to ri .

they are well worth the effort though in my opinion.
