Where can I buy...?

rich-k Nov 08, 2004 05:55 PM

a burlap type sack to carry my burm in? Or what else do you guys carry your burms around in. I wanna get the largest size of whatever they sell because I just think it is real dumb to buy something I know he will outgrow very soon.

Thanks for looking

I don't remember how big your burm is. Mine is 9 feet and 35 pounds. I folded over the edge of a pillow case and sewed a draw string into it. Yeah, I know...I'll make someone a good wife one day. He fits into it with no problems and it's real inexpensive. I know they have scales but the burlap sounds so itchy! I plan on either making a box or finding some sort of pet taxi that fits my preference. This way he'll be in the case which will provide some insulation and keep him from straying or biting. Then he'll be in a crate which will protect him from others and make it easier to carry.

Midwest tongs sells snake bags. And the pillow case thing works too. I've bought a few snakes home in a pillow case, although something does'nt seem right when you carry a big dangerous snake around in a flowered pillowcase...lol
I have a couple of the midwest tongs bags...I like 'em
I'm sure you could find similar bags in the size you want, on the internet

Yeah, like I'd really use a flowered pillow case at age 35! IT'S GOTTA BE SPIDERMAN BABY! LOL

At my age (47) I'll use the flowered pillowcases...I just got a great deal on Martha Stewart Designer Series!
Her new style is stripes!

You guys are ridiculous! I acctually think its kinda cool carrying a big dangerous python in a flowered pillow case. I've only had him out once in public the other day at the middle school I work at. I don't think anyone was expecting a huge python to come slithering out of it. Teachers were more affraid than the kids.

Well he isn't huge yet, only 8'7" and 18 lbs. Anyway I was tosing around the idea of suzy-homemakering something up but I kinda want something offical, know what I mean. I'll try midwest tongs.

Thanks guys
