| trouble is, with a burmese python, you need a viv/home for it thats at least 12ft x 4ft x 4ft and when u consider the accessories and other things needed aswel, its not the cost of the snake that matters, its the cost of everything else, plus, as with all snakes, the burm must be able to have its excercise, so you must beable to supply the room for that aswel as the viv. |

Many of the burm keepers I know have only a waterdish for it. Heating wise, a bulb is the way to go, to avoid the crushing and cracking of a heatmat, but as a younger snakes go, yep you'd need decor and the such.
Burms are incredible snakes, the dopier of the two main giant pythons, I may get a dwarf one in a few years..

an average size burm will be happy in a 6x4x4 or a 8x4x4 only if ya unlucky to get a big girl would u need bigger, you dont need that much equipment for a burm a ideal hide for a burm is an upside down large dog basket so not that expensive |
