Well, I am curious as to what people think. Are they a good pet, have they had bad experiences, good experiences, easy to keep, difficult to handle, etc.

Very BIG and HEAVY usually quite docile eating machines that eventually need large rabbits for food or goats, pigs, small children (joking)LOL. Anyhow I think Burms rock if your ready for a HUGE commitment!

Best snake in the world BUT not for everyone. VERY big and will eat you out of house and home.
here is one of my baby boys and he is only a year and a bit but already weighs 50 pounds and is almopst 10 feet. 
you also need very big cages for adults bare minimum 8x4x4
hope this helps
cheers
Sean

Burms make really good pets; they are forgiving of husbandry mistakes, hardy, and are good eaters. However, their adult size makes it difficult to recommend.

They're great pets if you know what you're doing with giant snakes. What is the biggest species you've worked with?

The largest I have worked with was a very pissed off 15', 165lb female burmese python. I met her as an adult, and yes I was terrified initially. Once I realized how stressed and ill she was, I understood the commitment it takes to own one of these (or more, for those with more ).

So what happened to the snake? All I can say is make sure you're prepared for a giant snake. There's enough heat on those of us in Canada keeping reptiles, and giants more so. We don't need any more bad press.
