Hi all,

Do any of you keep a male albino burmese python?

I have been considering one for ages and my local reptile shop has one coming in otmorrow that is apparently a lovely looking snake and a reall puppy so I am hoping to go down tomorrow afternoon.

If any of you keep these, how do you find them? Good temprament?

General comments about them?

Many Thanks

Gary

How longs a piece of string???..I have kept several burms Gary and like all snakes they vary in temperament. I seem to have had my fair share of aggressive burms but I know others that have had nothing but laid back individuals..as babies they are notoriously snappy but tend to calm with age although a lot of them remain vocal and hiss when disturbed..
Just respect the snake and give it regular handling and all should be well..

Thanks Stuart.

The one I am going to look at is about 3.5 ft and is apparently very tame so hopefully out of the snappy stages Smile

Your welcome mate..just handle regularly and take usual precautions..I love burms and if your sensible with them they make great additions to a collection.
