Hi guys! Looking to get a bigger snake. Definitely wanting to steer clear of the Retics, but leaning towards a Burm. Anyone have any experience with Burms? Good or Bad?

    Keep in mind that burms are illegal in most provinces. They can be quite gentle giants but have a huge feeding response so hook training is a must. Also once they get over 7-8 feet you need to have a second person with you at all times to spot. when they get over 12 you need a second person to help you handle them. And feeding time is always a risk. Having a feeding shoot is usually the best so they arent associating you opening the door with food being placed in. That and finding a reliable source of rabbits can be very troublesome. I have a fair few friends with burms. We used to keep them back in newfoundland(Where there were no laws about it). I miss them.
