>>Hello, I just received my first a burm,

Um, I have an odd question. When you say your first a burm, does this mean,

A- you have experience with other snakes and this is your first burm, or

B- does it mean that the first snake you have kept is this burm?

because A is all well fine and good and I apologize for this speech. But if your first snake is a burm, that's a terribly hard way to start out.

It's sort of like teaching a fifteen year old with a brand new learners permit to drive by putting him in a stickshift eighteen wheeler in the heart of New York city and demand that he floor it.

Now feel free to reject this recommendation, but if you are brand new to this hobby and this is your first snake, I strongly suggest that you return the critter where he came from (with or even without a refund you'll save money in the long run) and get a corn snake. Cornsnakes can grow to five feet, which is maneagable but still decently impressive. They are very gentle tempered, docile, and very forgiving of occasional minor maintenance errors. What's more, they come in a wide variety of morphs or colors. Albino cornsnakes don't even scratch the surface! And the price is right too.

If I've grossly misjudged your experience level or if you're offended, I am sorry. Just my thoughts.
