This is how the conversation went i was standing next to a boy maybe 15 years old, and he asks a vendor if he has any large burmese pythons, the vendor who really did seem concerned asked him how large is large to you the kid said well i heard the get 20 plus feet but mine never make it over 4 foot,and then they die.he said they just die dont know why.he said i have a big one about 18 foot for sale the kid inturn asked how much the guy said well more then you have and before i sell it i need to know if you know how to care for it and your parents have to talk to me about it.So the kid brings his parents over and they agree this kid can have it.While he was gone i inquried about it and he asked me the basic questions, and i answered them all correctly and showed him my 12 foot albino. he told me 10$ yes thats right 10$ he said he would rather loose money on it and protect the hobby then make money.So when the kid returned and his parents agree he says ok how much the vendor said no less than 350$ so the vender asked him if he could handle 180 pound snake and his dad said i think he can he has had several burms before......well after some debate the vendor said no way he loves his animals to much to let one die or to injure a person so i bought the female burm for 10$ and shes huge this is actually the biggest burm i have owned my other burms are not far from that size but i was glad to see a vendor who cared about the hobby and then the opinions of the public who dislikes his ways of vendings by the way if you would like a pic just ask i can email you one....also i have a question how odd is it to have a burm lay eggs this late?one of my females laid 49 eggs about 5 days ago thanks robb
