This was another one from Cali. This was by far the largest burm I ever handled.

Glad you liked them. Large snakes always seem to be a good conversation piece!! lol. You should see the responses I get from non-reptile people.

How big is that gorgeous burm?

She was one of the largest I have ever handled also. Cant wait for my tics to get big like that

Speaking of, post some pics of them.

Nice burm!

Speaking of, post some pics of them.

I have some up here somewhere......

Wow! Now that's a big ol burm :D

How much it weigh? That's a damn big one...

That Burm is big!!!! and what Beautiful looking snake :yessir:

That thing is around 200lbs and somewhere in the neighborhood of 15'. It was found in a dumpster still in its terrarium when it was about 6', skinny as hell and covered in mites. It was found by some kids and when animal control showed up they were afraid to catch it because it was trying to bite them.

They called my friend who rescued the poor thing and has had it for the last 7 years. It it is apart of many school presentations where the kids are able to interact with Tubby (fitting name).

He can be seen on display every year at the Minnesota and Wisconsin State fairs along with many other huge snakes, around 30 different venomous rattlers, an 8' Alligator who is super friendly and many other reptiles.

Awesome Pic! That's a Tubby alright!

:nono: teasing us with only one pic man......

more pics.......

What a lovely creature......... more for you though :)

wow you have some awesome pictures

Thanks everyone, I will dig around later and see if I can find any other pics

That burm has a very fitting name and congrats on the rescue.

Rene, that is a big boy!!

Big snake. Nice job on the rescue.

Sadly a lot of burmese suffer a similar fate. I was around during Burm Mania back in the '80s. The 'binos had come down in price enough that they were affordable to every day people, not just hardcore herpers. Plus, the normal burms were being bred in mass numbers and were cheap. Thus extremely popular.

We used to call them boomerangs since every time we sold one (I worked in pet shops then) it would come back about 6 months later. 6' long and mean as a tick. That seems to be the cut off. Once they hit about 6' people dont want them any more. Having a giant snake seems like a cool idea until you actually do it. Only certain people are cut out to own giant snakes.

Ive got to people's homes to collect their unwanted burms many times. They were too terrified of it to even open the cage.

So sad…

I have had the same experiences V99.

Phil, is that the camera that was stolen from Mojo by someone's clepto friends?? lmfao..

lmao! That someone needs to be a better judge of character and should start fresh with new friends.

I am sure he is taking the proper steps now. Well probably not, I have seen his new friends.

Thats not the picture, I will look tonight! Good EYE Rene, that was the camera........ :)

I stole the camera...I heard there were naked pics of mojo so I HAD to have it...

If you wanted them all you had to do was ask him, I hear he is pretty easy......... to get along with! :)

Haha...I don't have enough bush for him....

Here's that pic!

This is the Bush League and you're welcome....... :)

LOL. Damn, that really makes Guy look short.

Mojo has found a fitting home.

reminds me of the cell phone commercials where they are putting different objects in line to show the reception bars.

Hey Rudd, is that the one I helped you put away for the night or was that another one?

Tubby is a amazing snake ! Beautiful :yessir:

That is the one.

I like how in all these references to the big snakes EVERYONE had help. The cuban gets out there and all of a sudden everyone has forgotten how to handle snakes and I'm "the guy".

I was too hung over. Remember, I started and then tapped you in. That was it, everyone watched.

I forgot all the drinking the night before. I can't believe you guys made me sleep in a bag with Baker.
