I work at a pet store in kentucky, and i get at least one call a week offering me some kind of large constrictor to sell. generally, i could get these snakes for free if i wanted to, but i have to answer that i already have enough animals to feed. i could literally have a python farm for free, if i wanted to. also, considering the number of utterly stupid things i see happening to snakes in general, the logistics of keeping a biggie, and the kind of people i see buying baby burms at shows (i don't sell the babies at my store, only the occasional rescue.), i'm sure an obscene number of burmese bite the dust early. my guess would be that less than ten percent of people who buy a bumese as a baby keep it for it's entire (natural) life.
