I would add in a couple things to consider. First, you cannot handle a large burm, anything over 8 feet really, by yourself. Do you have someone who can assist you in cage cleaning, handling, etc? Remember, you have to handle your snake often to keep its temperment. Also, Burms have a tremendous feeding response. You need to look into get tongs, snake hooks etc. to deal with this. You definately don't want to be dropping rabbits into the cage of a hungry 10 or 12 foot burm.
