BACK FROM THE VET 
So I have had this burm for around 3 months now, in quarantine of course. I took the snake to the vet to get a stool sample and have it checked out and everything was good but the vet was not able to sex it. So I called a great pet store down the street and the guy told me he could do it so I took it down there and found out that it was a female. Funny thing was, it was sold to me as a male. Yay for me I suppose, though now I have to give her a new name. Anyways, she can go down into the reptile room now. Ill post some pics of her when she gets out of shed. She is around 10ft and 50lbs. I know it was a pointless thread but I felt let letting you all know. Thanks for reading

Not a pointless thread at all, good to see that you took it in and quarantined her, then took her to the vet. Good stuff, keep us posted.

thank you, I am in the middle of building a new room to house them all in. As soon as it is all set up I will borrow a camera and get some pics up of them. I have been a member for a little while now and never posted any pics.

congrats on the clean bill of health.. not to sound sarcastic, but what kind of vet can’t sex your snake? but a pet store employee can? I’m assuming he/she knew they would be examining a snake when you brought it in.. just seems like standard procedure for a ’checkup’.. how to you rate the growth of a burm when males and females grow to different sizes and you don’t know which it is? anyway.. at least you know.. I have a female albino burm (8’)...

Yea, there is only 1 vet that is a reptile specialist around here and they are not ever open when I am off work . So I had to go to this vet who told me he can do a few exotics (snakes being one) but he was not a specialist. Anyways, I did not know he couldn’t sex them until half way through the visit. He was qualified to do a fecal sample at least though. I do plan on switching to the reptile specialist vet once my work hours lighten up. I can say though that the pet store I went to is excellent, they give out good information and are by far the cleanest pet store I have ever been to and the owner is very knowledgeable with animals of all kind.
