Some people have issues of there own and can't understand that a teenager can grow into a responsible adult and be remorseful for what they have done in the past. Pay no attention to garbage like this
"I don't think age has anything to do with it, and people that use that as an excuse won't earn my respect. I've been keeping Boids since I was 14, bred my first Boa species at 15, and am now 19 and fairly well integrated into the boa world."
Quite frankly people who are so close minded to the possibility of change don't deserve respect themselves and seldom get it which is probably why they are so wound up.
On the other hand, now that you have matured, you should make the hard nosed committment with the attitude of "I made a commitment when I got her, and I will not allow this change in her demeanor affect her future." to the best of your ability. A burm may not be for you but go about it with respect for the species you wish to own and with respect for the fact that captive animals are our responsibility and remember, not all of us were so perfect at 14 as Mr. Gilbert.
