Well, this is a very intresting topic. Someone in a post months ago in another forum, stated why get a snake that you do not really want. If your friend can care for a milk snake but wants a Burm, why not just get the Burm. I agree with that post because if he likes the milk snake then he will get the burm eventually, then have a snake he really did not want.



The real question is your friend a good care taker. Will they take the steps required. Who cares about size and space, if they do not care about having an 8ft cage in the living room, and are willing to have the snake over any conditions. I think we have all been there. We also have all had impulse buys.



As far as set up. Cage, waterbowl and newspaper. Otherthings get pooped and peed on and have to be cleaned, its more of a pain. Hide box will be good for awhile.



Other than that, just keep an eye out on it and thats all you can do.



Good Luck. I miss my Burm. She was great. I knew they got big but its another thing when its in your house but you grow with it. Then one day you take them out and your like dang, how did you get so heavy and big.
