Hi,
If the snake is docile as a juvenile it will most likely grow up to be a docile adult. Getting one as a baby is the wisest thing you can do as you are able to "grow with" your burmese and learn his or her quirks and sort of shape a relationship of sorts with it. I currently have over 30 large burmese and every single one of them is docile, gentle and just plain great pets. No two are exactly alike. Some have little hissy fits when touched, but it's all bluff and there is no serious threat to it, and as soon as I pick them up they are just excited about being out and are investigating everything around them. I think they make great pets, even when large and in the 2 to 4 years before it becomes quite large you can learn everything you need to learn to properly care for it as a large adult. Just as long as you realize that you will have this pet for 25 to 30 years and you are prepared to make this lifelong commitment. I would NEVER reccomend any boid to any person that wants it just for a few years or sells their pets at a sudden whim. I still have pets I had in the early 70's and I would expect any decent herper to still have their pet python they got now as a baby in the year 2033.
>>Well i'm looking into getting one of the many morphs of this snake and i just wanted to ask a few questions before i do anything. First off i plan to buy this snake as a baby and i know that this snake can get quite large but i really wanted to know that when this snake gets big will it be aggressive? Cause i don't want a snake that is gonne make me fear for my life because of how big and strong it will be. I just want one of these giants to be rather nice and passive. Is there such a thing with the Burms or should i be looking into getting another type of snakes. Please don't take me as a beginner because i have been around snakes my entire life and the job i currently have is with these huge snakes. I just wanted to hear everyones opinion on will i have to worry about this snake being very mean and aggressive? Thanks.
