    Yup, but nothing really concrete ... mostly just by word of mouth.

    It might not be Guinness World Record Certified, but according to the The Ball Python Manual by Vosjoli, Kilngenberg, and the Barkers....the oldest living bp on record was 47 years old and it that lived at the Philadelphia Zoo from 1945 to 1992.

    I don't remember where I read it, but supposedly the longest BP on record was a wild-caught female at a little over six feet.

    How long do we have records of BP's in captivity? At 47 years it seems possible that there are some may yet live longer, and we just havnt seen/heard/kept them long enough :)
