In my experience with burms almost all baby/juvenile burms are somewhat snappy. Almost always they calm down nicely and become woncerfull pets. Occassionally, they can be agressive but I believe all burms can become quite docile with a gentle approach and proper handling techniques. As for the hissing, get used to it. I have had numorous burms that never stop hissing. Some do some don't but it is usually nothing to be concerned about. Anyway, good luck with your new burm, Todd
