Brian hit it right on the head. If you start with a baby you will learn every little nuance of this animal's personality. Even though temperment is never guaranteed, when you start with a baby, both you and the snake will learn each other's personalities. I am always hesitant in recommending a burm as a pet knowing how many become abandoned, but you are asking the right questions and if you are aware of what you are getting yourself into, then just make sure you spend plenty of time with your baby. And, learn proper techniques for managing large constrictors. We have 6 burms and I absolutely love them all; but I always respect what they are capable of doing. Good luck.
