They have the same basic requirments as any other burm, morphs don't cause you to have to do anything different in keeping the animal. So do your research before getting it.
The basics:
Over all size when fully grown, 10-14 ft on average for males and 14-18 ft on average for females. Some will get bigger, once in a while you will run into 15 ft or more males and 20 ft or more females.
Cage size, 8'x30"x18" minimum. It never hurts to go bigger.
Hides, hide boxes should be provided for as long as possible, my burms are both near 10 ft and stil have hides. But you can stop providing them around the 7-8 ft mark.
Temps, 89-93 warm side and 80-83 cool side. There is no real need for a temp drop at night, but if you want you can drop them a couple (as in 2-3) degrees at night. Humidity, around 50% most of teh time, and when in shed raise it up to about 70% and drop it immediatly once they shed or you could run into problems.
Feeding, just like with most other snakes, give them something 1-1.5x the thickest part of their body. Best thing to start with is rats, because if you start with mice they wont be big enough to fill your burm up after a month or so and it can be a pain to switch them over (some are more willing then others). Once they hit the 6 ft mark you can switch them to rabbits, again you could have a little trouble swithing them although many will willingly switch.
Growth rates, FAST they grow extremely fast. Many will exceed 6 ft with in one year regardless of their sex.
Handling, same as anyother snake, just be careful. When tehy are little (under 8 ft) you will have no problem handling them alone. Once they are over the 8-9 ft mark you will definately want to get a friend to help you with it.
Well I think I covered all the basics, if I missed anything let me know and I will fill it in or someone else will.
