~ OK, I'll admit it...Where do spam_start?

~ When it comes to dragons or geckos, I know exactly who to talk to, but snakes are not my forte, so I don't even know where to begin.

~ I need to find a baby/juvenile burmese (not albino), as a gift for my son. spam_He is in his late 20's and has had snakes, etc before. He has been talking about getting one so I want to surprise him.

~Can someone, Please, spam_point me in the right direction???

Thanks,

Bob Clark is one obvious choice. You could also try Ben Siegal (sp?.) You won't go wrong with either.

Good Luck,

Like it already has been said, Bob Clark may be the man you want to talk to. http://www.bobclark.com

Jude...There are many ways to find a Burmese Python for your son!! Two GOOD WAYS are listed below!!

1. If you want a plethora of names...go to KS Python Section....find something you like....THEN come on here and see if the dealer is reputable??? ....OR,

2. Have you tried looking in the Phone Book, under "Burmese"??

I agree with the above posts, &nbsp;however I want to add one word of caution. I would not buy a burmese python as a surprise gift for anyone, even if they had been talking about getting one. What if he had changed his mind or was just kind of talking out loud to himself, weighing the pros and cons and the cons won? I would suggest that you get him a gift certificate from one of the top breeders in the country, that way if he really didn't want it, he could get something else. Just my opinion, as a mom of another grown herper son.

~I do appreciate all the responses and will definitely look into them. spam_I have also been approached directly with a few offers.

~As far as it being a surprise, the only thing that will surprise him at this point is that I am paying for the snake. spam_My son recently relocated back to NE from Tennessee and is staying with me until he gets settled. I have one of those "revolving door" type of homes where my children (and my friends of children who have no place to go) are always welcome. spam_My son recently got out of the army and sold his house in Tennessee. spam_So, he is here and he definitely wants a burm.

~Oh, and, Neil, it never occurred to me to check the phone book...haha. Would I find your name under "comedians"? spam_I just figured ..go to the people who would know the best and would not steer me towards anyone not trustworthy. spam_Silly me!

~Anyway, thanks again, if anyone wants to know how it turns out, I'll try to unscatter my brain enough to post a follow up.
Blond does not necessarily mean dumb, ya know!


Until then, y'all, spam_ <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
