What did you pay for it? Ask 1/2 that much - and be prepared to take even less.

Why do you need money so badly? Is this animal not your pet? I love my very plain, very normal looking burm and I got him for FREE! Try a snake rescue if you want to 'get rid' of it. Get a job to earn some money, otherwise you probably won't get enough for him to buy yourself dinner! Good luck!

I know that I was looking for a possible trade, I have a 5 year old male labyrynth approx 14 ft. when I got in touch with Bob Clark to ask the worth of him his reply shocked me he quoted $500-600 US as he is in excellent condition and a beautiful specimen more than ready to breed. I was trying to work out a trade with Henry Piorun, but couldn't make a decision, so I still have him and am quite happy I didn't trade him- he makes an excellent pet. If I were you I'd try to figure out a way to keep him, just for the fact that he does grow to be a giant and you probably wouldn't want to be responsible for placing him in the hands of an inexperienced keeper or an irresponsible keeper. Good Luck, anyways.

I understand emergency situations call for money you don't have sometimes... but I just don't understand getting rid of a beloved pet for money... my burm is as part of my family as my cat, dog or even sibling. I don't really care why you need money... just make sure you don't hand this creature off to someone who will only neglect it as a 'trophy pet'. Snakes are living beings, they deserve all the respect we can give them. Somehow it just seems wrong that you want to sell him to get money rather than finding another solution. If you own a vehicle you can get a title loan... I do that sometimes when I'm strapped... but that's just me. Good luck to your burm....

Selling your snake because you need money? Sounds to me like you got the burm for the wrong reasons. You don't sell your animal just because a new game came out for your playstation that you want.

I really don't know the reason you need money...and you're right it's not our business. You're the one that seems to be hiding something...and as Dr. Phil says, "A person with nothing to hide...hides nothing."

A better way to sell your snake is to just tell people you're selling it. You saying that you NEED money doesn't help your case a bit.

Well put Samba, I couldn't imagine putting my Burm up for sale to just anyone. Don, do not rush into a sale, try to hold off until you find a buyer who's looking for what you've got so that you can be certain he's going to a proper home.

please y dont u just get a job? i really wanted a BCC so ive been saving up! i can understand when people sell pets off thou. Because i sold all my leos because i felt i cudnt afford 2 keep them anymore, and they'd get a better quality of life with a person who has a steady job and more time than me. Leos can be expensive 2 keep somtimes, espically if u hav a lot. Im happy i no where they are and that there well looked after. Please dont try and fob ur burm of 2 any1 who will take it 4 a bit of cash!
