If you're looking into Burms here's a piece of advice that I haven't seen mentioned-ask the breeder you've been talking with if he'll let you have a bit of supervised "hands on" time with one of his adults-I've handled Burms and retics up to about 10 feet until Sunday night when a friend called and asked for help cleaning the cage of a python I last held at 35 pounds. She was a handful at that size, but now she's pushing 100 pounds(13-15 feet)-her strength now compared to then blew my mind. I'm not trying to scare you off, they're great snakes, but see what you're getting yourself into before you're actually dealing with one that size. Like I said, even at 35 pounds they're a handful(and potentially dangerous) and that weight range is basically a baby.
