Notice that most of the big burm breeders no longer have any. Do you think it has anything to do with lack of popularity? They are strikingly beautiful animals and everyone seems to think so so I doubt that's an issue. There are still several garage hobby breeders unwilling to throw in the towel or maybe just haven't been breeding them long enough to realize the mess they have on their hands. Unfortunatly, they are also crossing the greens into labrynith and albino and even breeding normals for hets and due to all the inbreeding that goes into creating these designer lines....the future of all burm breeding is extremely scarey...not to mention that burm breeding is all wrong anyway. They lay clutches of 50 eggs on avg. Where are there 50 good homes for giant pythons? I can't see a justification for even one more litter of burms being bred by anyone of any kind of burm until all the ones flooding the rescues are happily housed into good homes and there is an actual market for them. Selling baby burms in petstores to the unwary impulse buyer is not a legitimate market. Almost all of these animals sold are doomed to neglect, horrible conditions and very premature death....or release into the everglades or a movie theater somewhere. I personally would not buy a can of meal worms from anyone who breeds burms.
