    Your snake(s) age?
    I know that Ball Pythons can live anywhere from 20-almost 50 yrs old and I've noticed here lately that some people on here have talked about having 20+ year old Balls...I'm curious...How hold old is YOUR snake or snakes?

    I've only had snakes for a year so all I have is 2 Balls that are a year old, a 2010 Cal-King and a 2010 Corn.

    My ball pythons are all 2007 and under, so 3 years and under. My largest female is unknown as far as age.

    Seems like a lot of people are relatively new to snakes :)

    All of the info I have read about their lifespan in captivity has said 20-40 yrs with the possibility of 50 yrs. I'm sure 50 is very rare but apparently still possible.

    Now I don't know how true this is, but on this page it says that the oldest recorded Ball Python was 48 yrs old when it died. I had heard this somewhere other than this page before as well, if I track it down I'll post it too.

    I hope my guys live that long!:gj: If they do, they'll probably outlive me but that's ok, my son is becoming quite the snake handler :)
