    Such a stunning snake with a calm disposition. I have the room for a snake of great size. The problem is that I am petite and slim and I could not handle a very large snake. Also since I am turning 70, it would be cruel to the snake if I died before he or she. I love all your videos and will watch every one of them.

    Age is just a number, but you're right, at some point you don't want to be lumping out 100 pound snake out of a cage. I actually ran into somebody with a very similar situation who had children that loved snakes. The plan was that they would get the snake when it was too much for her to handle. But I 100% agree. There are so many Fantastic snakes out there that you can always find something that is suitable for you or at least find close reptile show or friend so you can get your reptile fixed but not actually keep them yourself

    @@justinturner4067 As babies, retics are generally just as docile if not more docile than baby Burms are. They move a little more, hiss a little less, are a little more curious and seem to be a tad smarter. This is just generalizing though. One of my burmese pythons was just as active as any retic. As long as you work with them though, both species make great pets that require very minimal effort compared to other pets. Id get one at an expo that handles really well, OR try morphmarket and simply ask the seller for a handling video before you buy it. Morphmarket is actually where i got my female retic. The seller sent a video and she was super sweet and curious, and thats exactly how shes been ever since i got her. Once shes out of the cage and shes totally trustworthy. I can touch her anywhere on the head and she just keeps doing her thing because shes used to it. I will say that expos are often cheaper, but morphmarket has vastly superior variety. You could quite literally pick between over 1000 retics right this second lol. Id check the seller reviews before you buy something though as with anything else. It is a 20-30 year commitment, but food is cheap and housing requirements are very easy as long as you have the space for it. Honestly something like an asian water monitor requires much more space and food than a big retic or burm, not to mention UVB and INSANE wattages of basking lights racking up your electric bill. By comparison big snakes are very very easy to care for. Their poop even smells better lol.

    I already have my dream snake, a boa constrictor (I got him as my first reptile), and I think larger snakes are amazing. An exotic pet shop near me has a Burmese python but no one wants her because of how big she’ll grow. I really want to take her in and give her a nice home, but they’re so much bigger than boas and I’m worried of getting something I’m not prepared for (though I have 5 backup plans for creating extra space and we are planning to move to a bigger house soon). This video helped a lot!

    This is spot on. Fussing too much over what would make a good beginner snake will likely lead you to end up with an animal you don't want. Its better to spend a little bit longer, waiting until you've researched the crap out of a more intermediate animal and waiting until you are ready for the animal you want, then settling for an animal you dont want. Personally I'm happy with my little ball python, but I've rescued all my animals. And most of these snakes wouldnt have to end up being rescued if people didnt make rash choices in what they buy.

He’s young, so I get to watch him grow. No regrets at all.

It makes them fantastic beginner snakes, but unfortunately it also makes them that much easier to get bored with. My 3 year old holds our ball pythons more than my wife or I do these days. Im glad that I have them though, because I don't want her holding anything else at her age lol. Don't even get me started on ball pythons and how picky they can be lol. The ones who refuse rats their entire lives and ONLY eat mice or ASF are infuriating as someone who breeds his own rats lol. It sucks having to go to the pet shop just for a mouse for that 1 ball python who thinks he's too good for your rats lol.

Im sure theres many people like me who want a boa ( typical size) but just can't provide the space that they need and deserve. Ive been looking into the " dwarf " boas as some people call them but they're more of the central Americans. Theres always tons of people who put videos out on BPs but not many who put videos out or even info out on Boas in general and Im always wanting to learn more about these awesome creatures.so definitely the central Americans and would appreciate a video on dumerils. I recently fell in absolute love with the Madagascar tree boa or malagasy tree boa or the sanzinia madagacariensis madagacariensis. The madagacariensis volontany is pretty cool too but definitely prefer the green coloring of the madagacariensis vs volontany. Anyway look forward to future videos.

I plan on getting 2 burmese pythons here hopefully soon or by next year I have always loved the burms always wanted one but sadly wasn't in the posistion to have one due to size the cage they need so i had to wait but I can't wait because I will be getting a possible patternless from a friend of mine when he breeds his female burm then I will probably pair her with a Hypo or even an albino I love albino burms. I fell in love with the burmese pythons when i was 15 years old my sisters friend had 2 puppy dog tame burms who loved to talk but never bit anyone just vocal but she wasn't very to nice to them not properly caring for them which sucked because i would have taken them from her right then and there.

    I 100% agree with getting rubbed the wrong way when people are like "I'm going to buy it. But can always sell it later on if it gets too big for me to handle." Just like people who get a puppy and then 10 yrs later they're like "Oh, it's old and needs all this special care that I don't want to deal with" and drop it off at a shelter. I feel like any animal you bring in becomes a family member, and is a family member for life. It's not like you can go "oh, my son is failing all his classes and does nothing but get in trouble. I don't want to deal with it anymore. I'll just get rid of him." You can't do that to your human family members, and shouldn't do that to animals you bring into your household. Also agree with not settling for a snake you don't want. I wanted a bullsnake as my first pet snake. But when I went to my first reptile show, no vendors there were selling bullsnakes. I know I should have just gone home with no snake. But after spending months researching Hong different species and which ones I wanted, I didn't want to wait any longer. I did like ball pythons, so I found one I really liked. He's now my problem child, constantly going on feeding strikes. lol. He's also my pet rock that does nothing but hide.

When that happens - then, one learns about…. “The *Reach* of the Python.” That said, the snakes of that kind they had there chiefly seemed to be incredibly curious - and otherwise *awesome.*

    My male Burm was actually my first reptile. It wasn't really planned but my friend who owned him first couldn't keep him because she was moving back to Florida (I live in Sweden) and she didn't want to give him up to someone she didn't know. I've always loved reptiles so I adopted him. And that was the greatest decision of my life! I absolutely adore my big boi. Ok, he's just 2.5 years old but he's still 8.8 feet so he's a bit boi 😅 I had to build his enclosure because it was way too expensive to purchase a readymade. I agree with everything in this video; they can be a bit costly with food and housing but it's definitely worth it! The size makes them really fun too because I can let my boy roam the apartment (I have to watch him tho cuz he really likes to climb!) without having to worry about him getting lost. Sometimes he just chills in my bed with me when I'm gaming or watching a movie. He once mistook me for food and of course that wasn't fun but it wasn't too bad either. And it was totally my fault because I wasn't careful. That's the only risk with a snake that's really mellow and chill; you forget to be careful. So if you have the space and money I would definitely recommend a Burmese python! ❤

    Might be kind of hard to find but I highly recommend looking into Super Dwarf Retics if you have doubts about getting a large constrictor. They generally get about 13-14ft at the most. They are still Retics though so you need to socialize them daily like any other snake. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to own a Burmese in most States but I may be wrong

    It’s actually illegal to own retics in quite a few states. More than burms. But you are correct that super dwarfs can be good as long as they are actually super dwarfs. Sooo many large and reputable breeders sell dwarf and super dwarf stuff that is not actually dwarf or super dwarf.

    Nice video! A huge snake like a burm is definetly not for me, because I am a pretty small woman and I don't feel very comfortable handling anything bigger than a boa, but I can see how burmese pythons can be good pets for other people. Also you may have mentioned it, I have to admit I got distracted once or twice during the vid, but one thing that would be an issue for me if I wanted to have an enormous constrictor like this (again, I don't) is how to obtain their food. You mentioned feeding them not being cheap, but apart from that, frozen rats and mice are fairly easy to come by, but these guys outgrow that kind of food. Do you have any opinions/advice for that? Because I can hardly imagine that I am the only one wondering about it

    I really appreciate your emphasis on keeping a pet for life. Yes things happen that are outside of our control and that’s what rescues are for; but that isn’t the same as prioritizing something else over an animal you were supposed to be committed to for life. That is something that bothers me immensely, no matter the type of pet. Here’s a question for you - why have retics become so much more popular than Burms? I feel like when I was a kid (I’m an early 90’s relic), Burms were the quintessential “big snake” but now it seems like everyone prefers retics. I just think it’s interesting, since Burms are (usually) so kind and gentle.

    When I was younger I used to do much larger enclosures and even things like the monitors that you guys may have seen had some pretty large cages. The problem with the large cages or a whole room for that matter is that it's extremely difficult to keep your temperatures and humidity where they need to be. If you midity for a Burmese python will literally rot a remote in a matter of months so it's very difficult. I found generally, the larger the cage the more things are wrong in terms of temperature and humidity. Just so difficult to keep things correct. Not to say not to say it cant be done because I have done it and have seen it many times, just very difficult for the average person
