Thanks again.

How can you get a real answer if your not honest asking the question?



I appreciate you reitterating (Spelllling????) to me the important questions! Laurafl's response was helpful, she reminds me of me



> > > "As with their power and force. I understand that there is always a chance for emergency situations, regardless of how tame they are. But doesnt everyone who owns a burm take that chance?"

and do i EVER have spunk. To be honest sometime peoplerefer to me as Queen Spunky........ kidding. But they should!



Anyways,i understand that animals will be animals. and i like the fact that burms are considered gentle giants and can be 'calmed down' nicely.... but i also realize they are still a wild animal and anything can happen.



You want to know whats NOT fair.... The only snakes around to catch in my area of the world are garter snakes!!! and let me tell you! they stink.aha

Rat snakes would have been fUN. definitely spent pretty much all of my summers as a tomboy misfit :P walking through the trees, listening for the sound of snakes and coming home with buckets full of them,only to bring them back the next day and find a different bush!.



YEELLLLL!!!!- okay when you ask how much prep work will i put into it. If i do choose to buy one, what kind of prepwork are you talking about?? i dont mean to sound naive... theres a good chance i already know that answer but i just want to be clear. I will only choose to get one of these animals if I am 100% certain im ready for it. Im learning as much as i can just reading stuff onthe internet... but theres nothing like having personal questions answered and personal opinions and advice givin, especially since some of the stuff on the internet can be confusing and misleading...



******ALSO. I'm still not even close to making a decision. I know i need to learn alot more before i can But if it so happens that i feel a burm is going to be too much or if im not quite ready for one, i may get a ball python. Or something a fair bit smaller than a burm but hopefully a fair bit bigger than my rat and king snakes.



Again. I look forward to hearing back from you, Really appreciate your insight!
