Like the others said... Get a burm as a baby, and makre sure it's tame.



I got one of my burms as a baby who was aggressive. With MUCH time and effort invested into the taming of him down, he's much better but still isn't the kind of snake I would trust for a second. Given the chance, he will still try and bite and eat me. He's still slowly coming along.. but I know I will never be able to fully trust this snake.



On average, as burms get larger they get more "lazy" so to speak, and are like big babies when full grown. But not always. And even if they are most of the time a big sluggish "baby" at 20ft, you have to remember to RESPECT the snake, because at any given moment they can forget their sluggish nature and be a sheer mass of muscle that is quicker than you could have ever imagined, a second is all it takes :P



Anyways.. I say go for getting a burm. Just make sure it's tame and know fully what you're getting yourself into. They live for a very long time, and get VERY big.



Another snake you might consider is a red tailed boa. They can still get fairly large (although nothing compared to a burm).
