I love Burmese pythons. I had a great friend in high school who owned an albino BP, and he gotten her as a hatchling had owned her for 12 years. On Friday nights, 4 of us would watch TV sitting on his couch with her draped and crawling all over us. She was so chill and friendly. His father had built her a HUGE enclosure, and this awareness of needing a big enclosure was in 1990!!

I love how the list is basically: you want a giant snake/tortois/etc but don't have the capacity? Get a small snake/tortois/etc

[@sashascarah6533]

I would love a burm but I live alone and am on the less physically fit side so wouldn't be able to handle one on my own. Instead I'm looking into a boa constrictor as they typically don't get larger than 10ft which is honestly a lot easier to handle, though this is going to be like 20+ years away as I will need to move to a larger home to accommodate it as I don't have space in my one bed flat for a 12ft viv. I am planning on getting a female ball python in the meantime once I'm back in work and can afford a second snake.

Really enjoyed this vid. A lot of keepers might scoff at kingsnakes and cornsnakes but i gotta say, after i got all my major dream reptiles, i still came back to the popular "starter" reptiles. Yeah they may be common, but they're popular for a reason. I probably get just ad much enjoyment out of my rat snakes as i do my big constrictors.

I've actually noticed that handling the big animals like burms, it's a lot more relaxing and more enjoyable than handling a corn even though I am a huge advocate for corn snakes lol because I think they are the absolute best first and overall best snakes as pets for most people! They always eat and the temperature requirements are really easy to meet in a normal household lol. And I've bred corns for years but handling a big animal especially a big male Burmese is a really nice and not as hectic as trying to keep up with a corn snake lol

I really like the fact he provides you a "pars construens" along with a "pars destruens": you want a reptile/amphibian but it's too big and/or difficult to keep? Just buy this one, it's kinda similar, but more manageable.

[@draculdrago5733]

Adamn one id suggest is pricey vs cheaper counter part for a video for example: blue tongue skink is way more expesnsive compared to their cheaper sub species like fire skinks, blue tailed skinks, and five lined skinks.
