One of the guys at work has a friend who is moving home and he's looking to sell an albino burm. I'm told that it's about 8 feet, but I was also told that "it hasn't been de-venomed".  He's asking for £50 or £100 including the viv. I've seen a video clip of the snake and it does look really nice, and the viv is a decent looking one too although he is using a heat mat.
He said that it could be nippy, but after the comment about the venom I think he may just be trying to be macho. The guy sounds like a bit of a prat to be honest, but the snake may not be happy because the temp's probably wrong.
Anyway, I'd have it myself but I can't take a snake that size. I have suggested that he post on the dark side, but thought I'd mention it here in case there was any interest. |

You're right, they are large constrictors, which shows up the owner a bit. |

That's why it's a good deal, it's actually not a burm it's a very rare Andean Death Python! In fact, it may well be the only albino ADP in captivity.
I've still not been into Nu Pets, I may have to go specially if there's a burm to look at. |

| Apparently this has now gone to a new home, hopefully with someone who knows what he's doing. If only it had been an albino royal! |
