Re: Oldest bps out there?
Isn't the record for a BP something like 48 years? I remember reading that at some point, and I think that snake was wild caught! (Obviously I could be misremembering it, but for some reason, that number sticks in my head.)
Re: Oldest bps out there?
The oldest BP I have is an '03. Sorry LOL.
Re: Oldest bps out there?
I have a male normal that is nine years old. I can't take any pictures of him right now because he is in shed and is a little agitated. I will try to get some of him once he has shed.
Re: Oldest bps out there?
My oldest snake is Stick (male normal), I got him in 1999 and he was already at least two years old then, so he's...12 or 13 now! He was my first snake :D As you can see, he loves to crumple up his newspaper.

Re: Oldest bps out there?
This girl is supposedly 24 years old this year. I've only had her for 5 years, but the person I received her from claimed she was 19 at the time. She's mostly blind due to ancient eyecaps and scars, but she's still healthy and produced a perfect clutch for me 3 years ago. She's one of my favorite snakes... a little flinchy, but very easy going.

Re: Oldest bps out there?
My two oldest snakes are going to be 5 years old this year. One I bought as an 05 and the other I raised from a baby as my first bp :D
Re: Oldest bps out there?
My oldest is 13, got him in '98 from a pet shop. I still need to take some more pictures of him after losing all of the old ones I had. He's got a lot of scars on him from a neighbor that claimed to be able to take care of snakes that left a live mouse in with him when I was gone on vacation a couple months after I got him. He healed up nicely though and has had no health issues since.
