Thank You for the reply All the info is really helping me out alot. At this point Im thinkin I could handle a burm with a few more months of researching and learning. But, what Im thinking about now is that i might wait. I'm extremely interested and intrigued by these animals and so far havent been very deterred by the info i've recieved. I've second thought alot of aspects, and am continually thinking over everything in my mind. What i think I may do is start with something a bit smaller. First off because It will be a bit easier when it comes to room for the snake. And also I can then get aquainted with a snake larger than the 2 i already own. I'm only 19 years old right now and i dont know exactly what the next few years are going to be like and if i will be settling down for a while soon or not.... so haveing a snake over 8ft like a burm could be difficult.



Do you have any suggestions of something smaller that I could start with. Im thinking adult size anywhere between the 6-9ft range max. And a thicker bodied snake, Python or boa most likely. Possibly keeping in mind temperment and availibility. I'm up in BC and around here theres not alot of pet stores, if any, that have a good selection of herps Very Depressing.



So if you have any ideas Let me know!!! Thanks!!
