I Want One

[ronhalling]

Who else would love to have 1 of these, seen this Albino Burmese at the Australia Zoo on Tuesday and fell in love, unfortunately the Keeper would not let me handle it as it was due for a feed that afternoon (half a goat, in winter and a full one in summer) i did not want to drag myself away but the family said there were other things to see, most of the Australian Vens were active but the Aus Pythons were hiding. ....................................Ron

How big was it? That's an awesome feed size. Very nice looking python

Sorry Lawra, and everyone else, it was around 4m in length ....................................Ron

They are beautiful snakes but as far as owning one, for me the adult size would be too much. Otherwise, I would love one

Been there done that. It takes a certain kind of keeper to care for large constrictors. It is a lot of work and money. They require a huge amount of space. When they reach about ten feet they start to get dangerous. When I had my larger snakes once a month I had two of my friends come over when I fed them just in case something went wrong. It gets to be a daunting task. The power behind these animals is immense. I got nailed by my small 9ft retic, it left a massive bruise on my leg for a month. I sold them when my mom had my little brother(at that time I was still living with my mom). Although it was a fun run, I have not looked back.

They're illegal to have as a pet in Australia aren't they?
