    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

make me an offer,,,

honestly i didnt know how to tell until just 10 min. ago my bad do you know any one who is selling retics and or burms (adults)
 
I don't know of many 16 year olds that have the experience to handle a burmese or a retic.

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but you should really think twice about taking on such large snakes. A man in Ohio was recently killed by an 11' burmese python. And that's not even what many would consider to be large.

No offense meant but that is like saying you have shot yourself 27 times so you know how to handle a gun. Lose the chip on your shoulder and I think you will find that most here are more than willing to help. Take a run through the TOS and get the feel of things before you jump in with both feet

Well obviously not.
 
I hate to say anything, but you said you were looking for adult burms or retics, well 8ft is like a yearling when your talking about these kinds of animals, what are you going to do in 3 years when the burm is 15ft and over 100lbs,and the retic is 16-18ftand around 150lbs?? No matter how expeirienced you are it takes 2-3 people to handle these animals safely.
And as far as your 27 bites, your not supposed to get bit! And yes i have been bitten, but i've been doing this 27yrs!!!
Dont give up on your search. but be prepaired to take care of these monster,s and every thing that comes with them, Big food, big cages, lots of heat,{bigger pythons are touchy when it comes to temp.}, and of course your great dane or rotteweiler dont have nothing on these guys when it comes to poopin', you'll find out, Good luck,

^ I agree 100% with this post!! They are not the easiest of snakes to work with... honestly they are among the top teire of snakes to handle, along with things like rattle snakes, cobras, and so on.

if you want something to be close to 8' get an adult ball Python, or something like that. they have a great temprement (usually) and yea they dont usually reach 8', but they are not remotely dangerous like the burmese/retic...
 
I have never heard of a ball python that is close enough to 8ft. Biggest I have seen are 5fter. If you want an 8 ft snake go buy a boa. Which is what he was trying to get in the first place I thought. But if you want an 8 ft snake that you can handle and you want it to be a burm or retic than go dwarf tiger retic. Tigers are usually the nicest of the retics and you can get dwarfs that will stay around 6-10 feet. I would get a male that way they don't get as girthy as a female.
