    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a 5 year old Dwarf Burm, measuring in at 7 foot.

Male, with huge spurs, great temperment, and great eater of 1 pound bunnies.

Only serious inquiries and photo's available by request.

Make an offer, I am not looking for a large sum of money, more a good home.

Buyer pays for shipping
 
ok if you check my personal gallery I have uploaded some pics...sorry my camera is not the greatest and he likes to move.

Second, I do not have paper genetics, what I have is a 5yr old snake, that never got bigger then what he is now. He eats like a pig, has no illnesses and is great to handle...Just watch out for his spurs as they can scratch real easy.

Lastly, yes I am open to trades....what you got?????
 
sorry man but that is not a dwarf in anyway. its just a smaller than average size normal male, but he does look about 8-9 feet to me
 
sorry you feel that way....but we measured him. I am trying to figure a way to get him to hold still long enough to prove he is around 7 foot on camera.

Here is the proof even by what you said:

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.0.1) - Cite This Source
dwarf  /dwarf/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[dwawrf] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, plural dwarfs, dwarves, adjective, verb

–noun
1. a person of abnormally small stature owing to a pathological condition, esp. one suffering from cretinism or some other disease that produces disproportion or deformation of features and limbs.
2. an animal or plant much smaller than the average of its kind or species.
 
Also, Dwarfism is a genetic mishap.

Just like so many others that people breed into make what we call Morphs.

Albino is a gentic mishap, that means the lacking of pigmentation.
 
that may be what the dictionary says, but a true dwarf brum doesnt get ANY larger than 6 feet average is 4-5 feet and thats females. they are not just small burms, they are a smaller subspecies found on a small Island in South East Asia i myself have a 4 year old 7.5 foot male albino burm. adult male burms can range from 7-15 feet. your brum may be small, but not a true "dwarf burmese python" in the reptile world.
 
Actually you are not correct:

Even Bob Clarks' site states that Dwarf Burms will get to be 2 meters, which is over 6.5 feet in length (give or take)

Next, dwarfism is possible in any animal/human/living thing. For you to imply that no other phase/morph to be able to be dwarfed is wrong. My burm has even been labeled as a dwarf by my reptile vet.

And actually Male burms range from 12 to 15 feet on the average. I have another male burm who is 2 years younger and already 1.5 feet longer and showing much more gerth as they share the same diet almost.

So, if it makes you happy I will be more then happy to relist my snake that I have, that I have cared for, to read "Normal Male Burm, with genetic dwarfism"

See this is the problem....all these people want money money more money for something that is special. There is another thread going on in the BOI about people wanting regulate pricing for the "special" snakes. Well if you read my posts you would see money is not the object here, just a good home. I actually care for my snakes, not look at them as a investment for when I need money. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought a vision cage that cost more then he does.

Sorry for the rant, but maybe if the reply from the other person had been offered in the form of a private message before a public display of knowledge.
 
found one more bit of proof to uphold my snake's honor

Variations
The Burmese Python is frequently captive bred for color, pattern, and more recently size. The albino form of the Burmese Python is especially popular and is the most widely available morph. They are white with patterns in butterscotch yellow and burnt orange. There are also "Labyrinth" specimens, which have mazelike patterns, khaki colored "Green" Burmese pythons, and "Granite" Burmese pythons, which have many small angular spots. Breeders have recently begun working with an island lineage of Burmese Pythons. Early reports indicate that these "dwarf" Burmese retain the coloration and gentle nature of their mainland relatives, but do not grow much over 7 feet (2.1 meters) long. One of the sought-after of these variations is the leucistic Burmese. This particular variety is very rare, and has not been reproduced in captivity. This snake is entirely bright white with no pattern and black eyes.

ok coloration and paterns of their mainland relatives.....
not much over 7 feet (2.1 meters) long

Here is the link where I found this one of many articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_python
 
i dont know why you are still trying to prove this to me. you just posted it your self. they are from a different island off of asia. you would def have not been accidently sold a burm from this island for a houndred bucks when they are going for thousands. Also, i dont think they can legally imprort wild burms anymore with out permits and a bunch of other stuff, i could be wrong about the im ports, but i know im not wrong about the dwarf. all you have is a smaller than average burm. the brums from the island are "true dwarfs" and the babys of true dwarfs will also be dwarfs,, much like the dwarf retic. the reason why i am posting here instead of PMing you is i dont want to see anyone get screwed as i did in the past. your snake may have been labeled a dwarf by your vet, but compair you snake with a true dwarf from the island, and size wise they are alot smaller. if you snake breed it would have normal size babys, and just to keep you happy, at the very least half of them could be a tiny bit smaller, but it would take generations of line breeding to actually make a smaller species. average may be 10-15 feet for males, but i could make every snake i have smaller than average by feeding them once every 2-3 weeks. i know someone who feed his burm once a month if the snake was lucky, and after 6 years the FEMALE BURM was only a little over 6 feet. he then power feed it and it is now 14 feet after 2 years.

all i am saying is that you have a smaller than average burm not a true dwarf burm.
 
You know, I read some of your for sale posts in which people feel you are over charging.

I was not trying to screw anyone. but that is ok, because I have acheived my desired request, that was to find a good home. Sorry you have become narrow minded in your greed.
