This is a quote from Bob Clark's website:



"The growth rate of Burmese pythons can be influenced by several factors, with the snakes being capable of an almost unbelievable rate of growth under ideal conditions. Burmese pythons that are kept at temperatures in the mid- to high-80s, and that are fed all they will eat twice a week (on average), can reach a length of nearly 10 feet in one years' time. In contrast, I know of a Burmese that was fed only one mouse every 10 days, and in seven years it reached a length of only slightly more than 4'/, feet. I obtained this snake, and after a year of heavy feeding it reached a length of 11 feet."





I would ask yourself if you really want that snake to grow so fast. Once burmese pythons get big they can be extremely dangerous and require two people to handle if it ever needs to be moved. Just be sure you've done some research on this and are ready.
