It's impossible to accurately formulate "an educated guess" as cold hard date of numbers would be needed. But just as an outright literal "guesss",... I would have to say firstly that many of these burms die unfortunately long before the inexperienced owner would have sold it. So maybe half even make it to adulthood. The causes for the premature deaths could be any of these:

So for the lucky half that may make it to adulthood, I would guess that much more than half are given up, sold, or abandoned. It's very sad.


>>Hi, I'm curious as to what most of you think.

>>What do you think is the percentage of people who buy burms then get rid of them once they get to 11 feet? (Honestly).
>>Or, if you think the length is usually shorter or longer when burms begin to lose their initial appeal, what length is that?
>>
>>I guess as a footnote to the above, anyone who's had a burm for less than 2 years should probably indicate that.

>>Thanks for any & all replies,
