Actually, Hillbilly did recommend working with someone. I second the boa recommendation as an alternative. I have a BCI and he's great, but he is different from a Burm. His body language is different, the way he moves is different, and he requires different physical handling. He's our tangle snake that will grab everything as you're walking by with him and he's very "squeezy". My 13yo daughter calls the Burm a worm and the 11yo calls him a noodle. He just kinda plops on you and have to have two or three people carry him out the door for outside time. Boas are very beautiful and have that exotic face, but they'll be hanging around with you for quite a long time as well.
