Yeah, Id love something far far bigger than a corn, but Im hoping that in the next 10-15 years Id be having children, that would be too much of a risk for me, plus Im too tiny to handle anything much bigger than a corn being only 5ft!! xD

my dads friend had a berm once, 15ft of snakeie...had to get rid of it as wide was pregnent and when a snake is eating fully grown rabbits its safe to say could eat a child... |

Yup, have to agree 100% there with you Sta~ple.
I have had to place a few rehoming ads myself over the years and would be very upset to think people were judging me on a related forum without knowing the full story.

thats a fair and very true point sta~ple if i had to sell one of my snakes id be upset enough without people judgin me too! in fact there was a girl who almost had to sell her BRB on the other forum cuz the female attacked the male and she didnt have a spare viv at the time. thats a pretty good reason and certainly unforseen! when you really care about somethin its easy to judge, kudos to sta~ple, for being the voice of reason  |

Could be Benji :) must be a very pretty person they brought home lol
But you guys must not judge, there is no information at all why the person is selling, not everyone is a terrible person and it is only natural to assume the worst. What if this person has has a stroke or developed a serious new health issue or they have a child or OH that has and no longer cannot care for the snake as best they can? Simply saying that the person cannot afford a bigger viv and that why they are selling is an awful thing to accuse someone of. At any case, at least the person is actually doing the decent thing. |

hehe no worries sta~ple :)
i think the baby idea is a good one, seems reasonable and fair enough or maybe he met a nice girl, brought her home and she was like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WHAT THE #&+@ IS THAT?!" and he decided he'd better get rid of it lol! anything is possible with a snake! |

he surely must of thought of what he was gettting himself into though? |

Maybe the 'unforeseen circumstances' in the ad are that the onwer can't afford the correct accommodation as the snake grows? |

that sizing is fine for smaller snakes but you cant work that way for 12 ft plus snake, housing would be massive.
Hmm, yeah, didn't think about that lol

I know and I wasn't aiming it at you XD *pat pat*
It could be that they have found it but it could be equally be something else, not everyone is irresponsible though, the only way to find out would be to why ask for the sale or reasons.
I must admit I have looked a albino royals and other big albino snakes and mixed them up lol |

lmao, you never now, it could be that they have found out that it will get to big, or it could be one that i have seen quite often with burms, that they are expecting a baby and do not want a snake that big |

That's enough room, the owner might have fully well known what size the snake can get to and planned to get it a bigger viv when it is needed and they may have legit circumstances.
It wouldn't be crowded in the viv if they only had what they needed in the viv and not fancy stuff. |

thats probably what the "unforseen circumstances" are lol! He maybe got the snake IN that viv and didnt realise how big it would get. ive heard of a few cases (particularly with albinos [cuz they look similar]) where people buy burmese and are thinking of royals...d'oh! |

it may well be crowded I don't know I haven't seen it so shall not criticise a keeper on guessing.
yes its a big snake, no maybe its not the best size viv for it. And very soon it WILL need bigger viv. |
