Burm is our male burmese python. He is a granite burmese python. We adopted him from a friend of ours a while ago. When we adopted him he was extremely agressive, as some juvinials are. We have luckily worked him out of his aggression and he is a pretty mellow snake now. He is younger and smaller than our female but should also be breeding size with a few years!!! I currently don't have a very good picture of him as he is going through a rough shed as well. He was affected by the mites that our female had, as we housed them together not knowing that the female had mites. So we had to give him the same treatment of mineral oil. I will hopefully be able to get some pictures posted of him soon, as he is a very beautiful snake.
As a side note I want to stress how important it is to handle your reptiles often when they are young and as they grow so that they will not be aggressive. Also it is very important to have a seperate tank or tote in order to do feedings. Reason behind this is that where a snake eats, is where they claim territory. Where a snake claims territory will tend to be where they show the most aggression.
