- Let's take a look at the growth rate of some burmese pythons, and how I feel they should be raised.
NO- the bins are not their enclosure. I pulled them and stacked them to provide easy access for the video.

It’s nice to see breeders who don’t power feed their animals. I learned a lot from this video so thank you for making it!
Thank you! And awesome to hear! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Who give him the authoriry to put the snakes in the cages you dont own and control gods creatures
@@wayneallen3704 god made certain creatures more powerful and intelligent for a reason its lifes natural cycle that god planned out the powerful get to rule
Wayne Allen Do you eat meat ?
Wayne Allen they aren’t gods creatures. They’re mother Earths. Stop giving credit to some make believe thing over actual psychical PROOF
Refreshing to see non obese Burms... Good looking animals
Thanks man!
@THE DARK KNIGHT'S REPUBLICAN indeed.. I've seen 1 yr old 6 foot Burms.. as you know Burms have relatively endless bellies and will gorge themselves and most (improperly educated) think they are doing them harm by limiting them
Jason's Exotic Reptiles I’m not judging how you care for your animals with this question but I’m curious. Is it suitable to keep snakes in bins like that ? Do they have enough space in there ?
That's correct. But obese isn't the same thing as having the natural fat reserves nature intended. I see many people make the mistake of judging every animal species by *human* standards. That's just wrong. If you kept a polar bear as a pet and you told me you were trying to get him unfat and muscular, i would say you were torturing and killing the poor thing, because they ARE supposed to be fat!!! Each species has their own normal fat level, and human standards aren't the regulating norm by any long shot. Burms are, in fact, supposed to fatten up a bit more than most other big pythons. With my 20 year experience i can tell where that limit falls, and that's where i try to keep them at. But i'll tell you: it's not exactly at Rocky Balboa lean. *THAT* is a mistake (especially in a female breeder).
@@TheJoker083 it's somewhat reasonable as temporary homes when they're not that big but definitely should switch to a big enclosure when being sold. Breeders very often tend to these racking systems for space reasons.
Thank you so much for this! I've got a Burm at home and I've been searching for information but most videos only show retics and titans. My boy is about 2.5 years and he's 7 feet. He's just the sweetest and I love him dearly! He's really curious and active and wants to spend a lot of time roaming the apartment. And he loves to climb! So that guy is all muscles! I interact with him every day (except when he's in shed - then he's a grumpy one!) so he's really calm and tame and he rarely hisses anymore. He's never bitten or even struck at anyone. I feed him moderately because I don't want him to grow to quickly. I was a bit afraid that that maybe wasn't right so I'm really glad I watched this video!
Man, thank you for making this video! I’ve been worried my burm was too under sized, he’s about 2 years old and probably around 5 feet. This made me feel a lot better about his size. I feed about every week to two weeks. He looks healthy, I was just concerned he’s smaller than he should be.
Very highly appreciate this video. I think this might be the first video with visual evidence as to how they grow. Found it impossible to find anything ethier in TH-cam or online on age and growth rates. Thanks mate
I love berms. I used to have a 15 year old female but I had to rehome her when I moved out of my moms house in my 20s. I would totally have one again if I had someone I trusted to help me handle it when it gets big. Carpet pythons and boas are the biggest snakes that I feel comfortable handling by myself.
Got my Burmese a week ago, had anxiety after watching some stupid documentary about them in the Everglades. You are awesome and have a lifetime subscriber. Thanks man
what stupid doc in the glades? I live in florida and we have to get rid of this stupid snakes, otherwise the glades are gone hope they got all killed.
They look so much better when they are fed like this
I agree! Thank you!
@@JasonsExoticReptiles more burm video's please
Hey Jason .
Please do another burmese python care and growth for 2021 . Will be great to see some of your burms .
I really appreciated the info, it let me know I’m taking care of my python in just the right way. I’d love it if you did a video about enclosures!
You totally changed my mindset of Burmeses. I honestly thought they got huge, I'll definitely be looking into one instead of a dwarf retic.
HOLMAN burms are prob the best “big” snake to keep.
I’ve had a few 50% Dwarf Burms before and they’re just as gorgeous, and still get around 8-9 feet. One of the most gentle snakes I’ve owned.
I've owned a lot of snakes, but my absolute favourite was my female Burm. They make wonderful pets if you have the means to care for them well
@@Infernalapathy I'm sure I've got the means to take of a snake my friend.
@@Runemup48 I wasnt implying you didn't, I just mentioned that because big snakes are obviously more challenging to keep than, say a Corn snake or Ball Python, the smaller snakes that are typically recommended as great pets.
Just got a baby Burmese. 4 month old female granite who’s already tame. A total sweetheart. Thank you for this.
Love love love love this video. I love burms and I would have to say this one of the best videos I have seen to date in relation to burms. Kudos to you and your amazing animals.
Thank you!
Jason's Exotic Reptiles now I want another burm!!!! 😩😩😩
I am now looking for a Burmese because of this video. Thank you for the information!!!!!
Awesome video and beautiful snakes. I like the message you're putting out there about the negative effects of power-feeding. Nice work!
great video, right to the point and very informative. Love the video man, I'll take what I've learned here and use that to inspire the videos on my channel.
Thank man!
Hi jason i love your video’s about burmese pythons.
Ive got my first about 2 weeks now and i love her.
I have boa’s for 6 years now and now im in to burmese phython.
I watch a lot of your video’s to learn about them.
Keep it going man love how you love youre snakes.
I hope mine will get as puppy dog as yours.
Greets from Holland
You hit the nail on the head. I JUST picked up a big female burm from a guy who had her in a 100g tank. She hasn't been touched in over 3 years. He was feeding her a 3-5 lb rabbit every 2 weeks. SHE IS FAT! (Let me point out that I am not knocking her original owner. He is an extremely nice man, I just think he was in over his head a bit. She was his one and only snake) I have her in one of my 6x3x18's right now but have an 8x4x4 on order for her. She is an absolute unit. One of the most impressive animals I have ever seen, let alone had in my collection. She is on a diet now. Only being fed every 2 months and taken off food entirely for a few months during the winter. She will also be going out in the yard for exercise if i can manage to pull her out. She is SUPER vocal. Sounds like an air compressor. She is roughly 15-16 ft and I'd say pushing 200 lbs easily. So I have A LOT of work to do with her. But I couldn't be happier with her. She is an absolutely amazing animal.
See man I already got the one giant snake i had ever planned on owning and here you are got me pricing Burmese now lol
For real. I have a retic and the burm community seems like they have more fun lol
Thank you for showing the proper way to care foe these wonderful animals. We need more sound advice to battle Barzyck and Jay. Keep it up!
Thank for watching. Happy to hear you like them. I'm working on a few more just been super busy!
So I'm just now getting back into the reptile hobby from when I was a kid but if I may ask what's all this controversy with Brian barczyk and jay brewer I've seen their videos and they seem to know what they're talking about?
@@BrianSmith-jx7td don't know brewer but, barczyk has tons of videos of him 1) misinforming people in an attempt to sell them stuff (looking at his cheap leapord gecko vid), 2) stressing animals for drama, 3) poor practices like no quarantine for new reptiles.
Hi Jason, I watch all your vids, i rarely comment, just wanted to say thanks for making video's, i always learn so much!
Thanks for watching!! Always appreciated. Let me know if there is anything you would like to see in future videos!
This past week I ordered a male Burmese Python. He is my dream snake! I am enjoying any videos on these snakes. Obese snakes are not healthy and i will never over feed my snakes because I want them to be with me a long time. Love your videos.
How's he doing? I've always wanted a burm and would only consider a male because of the size difference haha
@@evanspiteri3576 He is a sweet boy and putting on some size now. I feed him once a week to every 10 days. He will not be a fat snake. I want him to be healthy. I do not put him around my neck.
I love you're videos. Glad I found you. One of my new favorites. Keep em coming
I have been looking for a video about Burmese python, especially age and size reference. I am writing a novel where my MC has a male albino Burmese python for a pet. I didn't know much about the age or size so your video helped me visualise how the snake would look and act around its owner. Thanks for this and I've hit that subscribe button.
Sounds like a great novel! Thank you for the sub! Keep me posted on the book. I'd love to check it out when finished
Great video Jason. You're the main reason why I got a Burmese to add to my collection in the first place. I'm glad I did, because my male Burmese is a puppy dog.
Thank you!
Great job! I slow grow as well, I have a 8ft male that will be 5 years old in 3 months. As small as mine is considered I've seen smaller ones that's are older than him. I'd love to see an update on all of your burms.
In a more current video he says he Hates slow growing. The snakes he showed are abnormally small
Awesome video as always and perfect timing. My 6 year old is hooked on snake life with 3 boas and has been talking about a burm.
Burms are great as long as you are respectful of them and what they are they can be fantastic.
Jason's Exotic Reptiles agreed 100% your videos are great and always informative. Certainly has taught me a lot and my animals thrive from what i have learned from your videos before i made my purchases.
Thank for sharing. Stunning snakes. As a snake owner and viewer of your channel I must say, you put out very good informational videos. Keep up the good work. :)
Thank you!
Great video, I think anyone who is thinking about getting a python should watch this video. Alot of people think it would be so cool to have a large snake and don't realize how quickly they grow and how expensive they can be. Big snakes big responsibility!
I appreciate the hell out of you man love your content you helped me out with facing my fear of snakes I just purchased a ball python and I love this snake so calm and misunderstood cant wait to feed her thanks for all you do
Very professional and knowledgeable person like the way you explain things
Thank you!
Please do more videos on growth rate and husbandry of burms. Great video!
Finally someone who gets it! My year and a half old girl is right at the same size as yours! Your snakes look perfect man!!!
I wish everyone in the hobby had the same beleives than you conerning snake weight. Love it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for offering sound, responsible advice on handling large constrictors. Too many people claim they "know" their snake will never harm them. Btw that burm is gorgeous
Thank you for putting it in perspective as to the sizes that was great.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, keep it up. I like the way you explain burm growth rates.
What a great, informative, easily digestible video! Stunning animals too!!
Thank you!
I used to want a retic, but over time I have changed that after watching some vids of you handling the burms, the fact that they can be fed properly to manage weight, and seeing Kevin M. dealing with the monster retic craziness. When the day comes, I hope to hit you up for my first burm.
Thank you! And keep me posted. Retics are awesome animals, but not for me. They are more than I feel like managing anymore.
Thank You!!! I love Burms and Boas. Brian doesn't do them too much and I loved my Albino Burm and was crushed when she got cancer. My husband had a 12 ft. Redtail Boa that died from pneumonia because the vet was terrified of him. My husband broke his hand the night he died punching a door frame.
Super great vid man. I love burms--even more than retics. They are my first love you could say.
Im having my own burmese thanks for the tips newbie here 🐍lookin forward to have some gift one of your hatchlings sir
Best video about Burms. This helps me out big time
Thank you!
Nicely done Jason. Berm is definitely on my bucket list. I love big snakes, but not reticulated size and berm is just perfect.
Thanks for the excellent info !!
Thanks man. Burms and retics are about the same excapt retics will get longer and burms will get heavier bodied.
I've always thought retics have more of an attitude then berms, is there any truth in that?
Very refreshing video putting health before size and bragging rights
I thought it was click bait, awesome content, subscribed
Thanks for sharing👌🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾❤️ the last 2 were absolutely stunning 😍 subscriber gained
Thank you! Let me know if you want to see other topics. This is a longer one that might need a remake
I really appreciate this video! There aren’t enough videos on Burmese pythons. These are so beautiful 😍I would love to see more videos related to Burmese pythons 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you. I'll have to make a few more.
Excellent video, the myth about we "need" giant burm pythons is very common. More videos like this please!! Cheers from Mexico!!!
Thanks brother!
Great job with the video Jason
Thank you!
Da You could say the same exact thing on my channel because we both have the same name.
Take care and God loves you.
My dad had one in the 90s. Gave her a whole room in the house and let her roam the house. Everyone always said she was twenty feet but maybe more like 15. Lived 20 years at least.
Beauty’s ... I use a wheel chair and it would still be a struggle for me to keep one but these guys are my favorite to observe
Fairly new fan right here but really love your content man! Keep it up!
Thanks man! Let me know if there is anything specific you want to see.
New subscriber here. Burmese pythons are awesome. The moment I first held one is one of my all time favorite moments.
excellent video! burm and ball python owners very often overfeed, I was happy when I bought my burm at an expo that they had one of their adults also and I was surprised to see a normal looking burm, and was by far the healthiest snake Ive bought from a breeder
I've noticed that a lot of snakes will grow at different rates even ones of the same species, I have some that have been growing really slowly over the last few years and I have some that grew fast, then slowed down. A lot of growth rate can come down to exercise, the more exercise the snake gets, the faster they tend to grow. Over feeding/power feeding is another issue but so is stunting, that can really mess them up too!
Thanks for the video, it's great to see the expected growth rate of a burm, I'm planning to get a male from a friend that breeds. I chose a male because I don't mind having a 12ft snake but I'd rather get time to ease into that possibility(I know 10ft is more likely), lol! I'm also planning on getting a male green anaconda but I'm not sure when I'll be jumping on that, I just know I will.
Thank you for posting this! I am slow feeding my berm and this helps me know what to look for!
Awesome video! Thanks, I have been trying to find this information on Burms for a while now. Very helpful!
Thank you!
loved the video thanks. we have a fair collection of pet snakes of various types but we had our first Burmese yesterday such a beautiful calm puppy dog tame snake. your a credit to the reptile hobby keep up the education. thanks.
I love your videos. I have owned burms and retics in the past. Right now I have female bci about 5 year's old. But you have got me wanting another burm really bad. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks man for watching!
absolut agree! overfeeding is a big problem in my opinion.
Thank you. Yes, I think it's become noticed with boas, but people look over burms and just take for face value that they should be heavy bodied snakes.
Overfeeding is often referred to as power feeding it's a common practice in the breeding community I for one don't agree with it but some snakes benefit from it especially in female's it helps them with their egg laying
Chris S Nobody said u shouldn’t feed breeding females properly. But a fatty liver disease for example is a common issue with obese snakes.
Great to see that these guys don't have to become unreasonably huge in such a short time frame. After being on the fence on whether or not I wanted to commit to getting a burm, this video tipped me over it and I have a near-yearling green het granite/alb female arriving Wednesday. Couldn't be more excited.
It's definitely a bit of a step up from my 7ft boa and my ~9ft Bredli that passed a couple years back, but this video made it seem much more feasible than the ones that regurgitate those constantly-spewed claims where if you get a burm, you're looking at an 18-20ft snake in 5 years.
Good luck with the new edition!
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Thank you! She arrived in great condition and is settling in quite well. Thank you for making so many informative and helpful videos on burms!
My next snake will be a hypo Burm, what a beautiful snake. You have an amazing collection.
Thank you!!
Awesome video dude!! The beginning helped me alot
Awesome bro! I just subbed you. Thank you for your awesome videos! I’m loving this channel already!
Great video and well explained especially about how a big constrictor can be dangerous if your on your own, I'm a boa keeper and the point you've made about slow growing the snakes is good, hopefully more people will watch this and learn...liked and subscribed
Thanks man!
Love Burms. They're getting a lot of bad press at the moment in the US due to the everglades problem, but they are beautiful snakes.
The press is what is bad. They are genociding pythons in florida and the fault is of people who released them outside. They're being called pests. That is animal cruelty and abuse. They could very well relocate them or something instead of exterminating them
One day humans will pay for their crimes against animals, if we continue doing that shit instead of respecting animals and Life. Animals have the right to live too
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess people didnt "release them outside".. Hurricane Andrew caused them to be freed from the Miami zoo
And they are killing the entire ecosystem in the Everglades, they need to kill them.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess I can understand why they need to be killed, because they're disrupting the natural ecosystem and harming native wildlife. Snake Discovery does a great video explaining why they have to be destroyed and can't just be relocated.
That's not to say that I don't think it's sad, however. They didn't swim over to Florida from Asia on their own. They're in the Everglades because people put them there. Whether it was a breeding facility or released pets is irrelevant.
It's good to see videos like this anyway. Of all the snakes I've ever owned, my Burmese python was by far my favourite. They make wonderful pets providing you have the means to care for them correctly.
Do Burms like to climb?
Some of these snakes remind of the ones I saw at House of Reptiles. They seemed *very* curious.
Extremely informative! Thanks, man! 👌
Thanks for watching!!
A video that was well needed. Too many fat snakes out there. More burm vids :)
Thank you!
@Ernest Davis lol those are the containers I put them in for the video.
Yes! There are so many retics with the girth of a burm or more. I get yelled at by the community for just asking. Burms are girthy but not as much as these many obese ones out there.
Awesome video bro 👌🏼👍🏼
Thanks for all the good information
Your animals are so beautiful! I always wondered why I thought a lot of Burms are kind of ugly, but now I realise it's because a lot of them are overweight. I have two young Burms and I feed them the same way I feed my boa constrictor - nothing wider than the snake and with enough time in between feeding. I can't wait for them to be large, but I also want them to be healthy.
Great info and solid points.
Thank you
Great video man, I have a 3 year old normal male, that is about 4 ft. Healthy and happy never had any issues.
Thank you!
Awesome video. Thanks Jason!
Thanks for checking it out!
I always thought Burms were these massive thick and long snakes, never realized they could be an actual manageable size- at least the males! I’m too weak to handle a 100lb snake, but she’s gorgeous! Cheers
Dont get me wrong, they still get larger but I dont think as large as most people think.
Jason's Exotic Reptiles Yeah, but when I think large i think like 20+ feet. Even your big girl looked reasonable enough to house fairly easily with DIY enclosures
Love the vids Jason excellent content love your burms can’t wait to watch more keep em coming 👌🏻.
Thank you!
keep going keep growing dude. good channel!
Thank you!
This is very educational, made my fear about burmese that grow really large go away im now confident that i know it can only grow depnding if you overfeed. I know have a baby burm albino planning to make it lean not chonki snek
You sound just live my dad!!! Love the east coast accent 😂💕
Mainer here 👋
Haha we cant help it
Very educational video! Truthful video! I just subscribed. I love Burms and Boas!
Your best video yet.
I love what you did with Kevin at New England reptiles distributors....🤘🏼😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks man!
Great video! Just subscribed 😎🤙🏾
Man I think they are so pretty and super cute as babies
I just can't commit to the space for anything bigger than say a common male boa
Breaks my heart but I have to admire from afar.
Great to see breeders not powerfeeding and doling out responsible advice
Thanks man. And yes, they are not for everyone. I had to downsize and get rid of my burms for a while because of space constraints.
a snake hook is absolutely essential if you're going into the hobby. i got some gorgeous bloods that will attempt to bite if you give them a wrong look, but i love them they're awesome.
Great vid. My burmese is a 2013 baby an only pushing over 6 half foot in great condition
Great video man really enjoying them!
Great video bro!!! Very educational and helpful.
Greatest video you have ever made on Burms! Also you just had to remind me of how big the clutches are didn’t you? Now I’m trying to budget for an enclosure for a future female burm to go with my male. It’s all your fault bro! 😉
Awesome video mate, great information 👍
very clear and informative video. keep up the goodwork... subscribed
Thank you! I appreciate the support! Trying my best to keep it real. Let me know if there is anything you want to see!
Jason's Exotic Reptiles would love to see a video on you ( if you don’t have one already)
How you got into the hobby, how you got into breeding blah etc
one day my channel and skills will be this good.....well done
I just have to say dude i love you for this video i felt odd having a yearling burm thats 5 ft slow grow for life
Thanks man. Working on more videos now.
Awesome work & very informative. I just rescued 5 Burmese & I'm looking for any good advice to raising them right 🙌💯
I just filmed a new video on this a few days ago. It should be going up in the next couple of weeks.
I used to be really interested in ball pythons and that was until I saw your video on “the worst pet snakes” and when I saw you holding a ball python in that video I thought I would check out Burmese pythons👍🏻
great video, I love burms. thanks Jason
Thanks for watching man!
Cool channel never saw you before? I like the info and no Bs. Straight forward. I like it. Definitely subscribe button and bell on you stuff. Thanks.
Thank you!
Very interesting video and loved all the different sized snakes
A lot of respect for you after this video, got a new sub.
Thanks man! Apprecate the support!
Keep up the hard work love the vids man !!!
Thanks Man!
