Burms in WV

Mutimbo · 08-12-12, 08:31 PM

I know there has to be people in West Virginia that have and breed Burms. How do I find them?

I don't know of any. Your best bet is either something like Craigslist or September 15 the Kentucky Reptile Expo is coming to Huntington, WV (they're not changing the name even though it's in WV) and they may possibly have some WV vendors selling Burms.

Here's the link, you may want to contact the organizers and see if they know of anyone....

Mutimbo I used to know a guy. I'll see if I can track him down for you. May take me a few weeks though.

Thanks to both of you. Norm you're lucky you got your albino! Where did you rescue it from?

Norm66 · 08-13-12, 06:36 PM

A friend runs a reptile rescue. My wife and I both volunteer when she needs us. We weren't actually looking for a Burm but Becky fell flat out in love with him and I can say no. Now he's my boy too. Lol.

Funny how an animal with no snuggle node in their brains gets under your skin so thoroughly.

Here's the link to her site. You can email and tell her what you want. Get on the list so to speak.

Thanks Norm. I'm familiar with them and check their site often. Never seems to change though. I will send an email and if you could put a bug in their ear about a burm I would be grateful.

Yea, she hasn't had any activity for a while. I guess that's a good thing really.

I just read on Facebook the Huntington, WV expo has been cancelled because the state wouldn't let them do it. No reason given, just wouldn't let them do it. I read they're trying to move it to Ashland which is just across the river but that won't do you any good as far as buying a Burm. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings if you were planning on going.

He said he'd look around and let me know.

I do know an Ohio source but here's that Lacey act. :-(
