Alright heres my full out view, I too have been thinking of getting a baby burm for myself. But I haven got one yet, because I'm not sure if I can take on the feeding right now. I just turned 17 and planing on moving out next year, so I've been trying to save up money. Just saying they seem to be costly to feed, but I see that your thinking about getting a bit smaller of snake, witch to me sounds like a good idea. I've had a share of pythons & boas and let me tell you other then my rosy all of my boas have had bad tempers >< I'm not saying that there bad snakes, just saying they are quite to snap. I have also been biten by my pythons >< Now if you want a heavy bodyed snake that dosent get to long I'd go with a blood python, although alot of people will tell you they have bad tempers it realy depends. Most people say that they dont calm down with handleing, but I've had a few around that calmed down nicely, males seemed alot tamer then females. But ball pythons make wonderfull pets and are for the most part very tame, I've had a male for almost 4 years and he has never striked at me, hissed at me once when I put him in the bathtub >< They dont get to big though, max out at about 6 feet. Hope that helped, sorry I know I'm kinda retarded sometimes, just trying to be nice ^^
