Angelrose, I assume you are talking to me, but if not I will answer anyway.

My first burm I got as a baby... around 2 feet long. He didn't live very long because he had mites when I bought him that spread rapidly and during treatment he passed on. It was really hard for me because I worked so hard with him to kill those buggers, but they took him away from me. He was an amazingly calm snake and never struck, hissed or bit at me at all.

Then I found someone who was selling an 8 foot long male that I picked up. That's the burm I was talking about earlier. I got him at about 8 feet long, sold him at about 10-11 feet long. He was tame from day one. At first he was hesistant with me, but after a few weeks every time I came into the room he would dance up on the glass to come out and play. Literally, I would open the top and he would slither out onto my shoulders. I still have a picture of him and I from the first month I had him. This was when he was still around 8 feet. I had him for about 2 years and then had to sell him because I was moving into a smaller apartment, and my mom only let me keep my boa and my savannah monitor, because she didn't mind them as much. The savannah monitor died shortly after I moved out (I was a complete mess about it) and the boa is still alive and thriving. I then started getting animals at my apartment, and was hiding them at first, but then asked my landlord if they were ok, and she has no problem with them. I am moving in a few weeks and my new landlord has no problem with them either. Its really nice to see people are warming up to reptiles.

Wow sorry for the rant, but here is an old picture of me and my burm, Aiden (wow I look SO young!)
