 Good price for a albino burm???

I have posted on here a couple of times and I have high hopes that I have found a good albino burm for $150.Is that a good price for a baby?I have a 9ft RTB and I like to think I know at least a little about bigger snakes but please if there are any things I need to hear please fill free to let me know.She/He is going to be in a 6ftL 3ftW 3ftT.Its the same as my RTB or do I need to go bigger.Thank you all so much for your help.

that is a very good price for a albino burm.
cage should be fine although their is no harm in going bigger when we move to our own house karma our burm will be getting a 6x6x6 zoo type enclosure.

make sure you feed burms in cage, they have a wicked feeding response that doesnt go away for hours sometimes days after they eat.

i keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol, a switchblade on me at all time when handling big snakes, and my wife in the same room in case anything happens, just be prepared for any situation that can happen when they get bigger.

good luck, and if you get the burm welcome to the monster club.

Ya thanks I looked at them and they helped but I did something els I am having two rooms built.One for my RTB and one for the burm the rooms are going to be heat regulated so there will have a cool side and hot side the floor is going to be indoor/outdoor carpet and I am having skylights put in so I don’t have to use lights so there cant get burned but still get sun the rooms are 18’by18’ and I am using a pool for water and a bathing/soaking area.I put the money in today and I told the man what I wanted them for and he told me what I would need and he said that I wasn’t the first to have him do this in TX so that made me happy that he as done this be for.
