I'm just getting back into snakes after almost 15 years away. At one time I had around 15 constrictors, mostly burms of varying sizes and tempers. My biggest was a half burm half Afrock that hit about 14 feet. So I'm not new to herps or large snakes. A lot has changed in the last 15 years including me. So while I still love monster snakes I'm not prepared to dedicate the space needed to accommodate them once they reach full size. I'm never going to be a breeder and I like to display my snakes so rack systems are out in favor of large custom built enclosures. So dwarf and half dwarf burms really got my attention. All the looks and personality without the space requirements. I'm for it!

So all that wasted air above brings us to the point of the post. Who is breeding half burms? I see Bob Clark has a couple for sale but every other lead I chase comes up on a dead end. Almost like the more well known breeders all gave up on them a few years ago. One website is up and looks great but just dies after the 2011 season.

I reckon the Lacey act probably put the stops to a lot of projects just about the time they were getting going. Are there murmurs or rumors of anyone firing back up to produce these cool half size monsters? Is there a market for them or am I the only freak show that wants a midget monster?
