Burms is a good choice, probably the best first huge snake.Just one thing when your getting into the mega snakes. I know it will be a while, but start looking where your going to get the food when they get big. Look into farms and other suppliers for the big prey (rabbits). This will be your most costly part of having a big snake. Good luck with your research and selection.

Not a problem. I live out in the country and their are alot of farms that produce such animals. Who knows, I might be breeding my own rabbits one day

I seem to recall from another thread that you said you are still living with your parents. Please take into consideration that you will probably still have this animal when you go off to school or to work or whatever. These giant snakes are really difficult to move, hard to find places to accomodate, expensive to keep once you no longer have your parents' support, and difficult to rehome.

Also remember that giant snakes are genuinely dangerous animals and you never want to be in a situation where you are feeding the snake or cleaning its cage without someone else there in case of emergency. That may not be an issue now, but what about a few years from now?

I don't want to discourage you from keeping big snakes, just be sure you are thinking of all the necessary issues, and not just how much you want the beast. If I were you I would start with a more manageable mid-sized snake like a redtail or yellow anaconda.

You are correct, I do live at home with my parents. I am 18 years of age too. Now I know many will tell me I'm to young for such an animal but I believe I am the right man for the job.

I have absolutly no intention on rehousing any of my snakes. I love them very much and I will be keeping them for their natural lifespan.

Don't worry, this snake will be housed and treated right, no if, ands or buts.

african rocks from what ive heard can get aggro. id go anaconda. all these snakes are powerful, theyre just more exotic and cooler. not as many people can say they have an anaconda

I would like an albino ball python but they're rare.

 

[AttackFish]

One of each!

Hi,Burmese,with these giant snakes its better to be safe and not sorry!

You have severely underestimated the size these snakes can reach. Burmese pythons can reach 20 feet, Reticulateds 30', Anacondas 20'+. Ever thought of jungle carpet pythons or rainbow boas?

Those snakes get huge and in my mind none are particularly exciting snakes to own, get something like a carpet python or a rainbow boa.
