If you are seriously thinking of getting a burmese python, DON'T.

Unless you are ready to deal with an adult python that

Remember, these animals grow fast. Their adult size is NOT determined by the size of their enclosure.
Also, there is absolutely no market for selling adult pythons.

Try Melissa Kaplan's web page for a burmese python care sheet.
