I have a sumatran black blood python (python curtus curtus) and three burms... Now, I LOVE my blood python to death. She is my "prize" snake. Absolutly gorgeous, stunning, everything I could ever want a snake to look like it :D She is also fairly sweet as far as bloods go. (most bloods you come across are not barrels full of love) But the one thing about her is that she is soo easily stressed out. I only bother her when it comes time to change her cage and take some new pictures. She tends to be very shy, very 'reserved' and loves to keep herself hidden. I've heard this about a lot of bloods, that they are sort of high-strung and are *very* solitary, they just don't like the human interaction.
There are always exceptions in the blood world though. If you found the right blood, it could be a great pet.
Brms on the other hand... tend to be more socialable. The also get about three times larger than any blood gets. Bloods tend to be very FAT and stocky snakes(6-7ft, depends on the type of blood python), burms also get very fat, but are longer (20ft ).
So really.. I say go with whichever you really want. Bloods are beautiful (and addicting...), but a good burm will have a personality and a tremendous size. Remeber with the burms though.. these things get HUGE. Read back a couple days and you can find a bunch of posts about how much burms demand respect and why everyone should NOT own one.
And uhm.. I hope this helped a bit I kinda went on a ramble.. ----- Randilyn -;,-
