I have noticed that most of the "huge" burms are in breeding prodjects. Most people who burms will only keep them till they get "to big to handle", and so they actively look for someone to buy or just take them. If you are realy looking for a "huge" snake I would say find a breed and ask them about one.

The post before this one brought up a very good point. But the truth is, most burms dont get that huge. I heard it said that a burm (or retic) over 20 feet is about like a person over 7 feet. There are 7 foot tall people, just like there are 20 foot pythons. But these are not the norm. The amount of food that a 20 foot snake would require is immense, and something the average keeper is really not prepared for. I know there are huge snakes out there, because I have seen some of them. I just dont think there are that many that arent being bred. And from what I know, a 100 lb male, would be a pretty big male. I would love to see some pics. Heres one of my 12 ft female.

dbutton on redtailboa.net forums has one. its a 100 pound 13 year old 13 foot male. he had him sence he was 12 hours old!

I posted this one a little earlier in the forum. He's between 12-14, not quite a 100 pounds, but I think he's pretty big.
