Whats the oldest ball you own or have owned?

So here is my story. I work at Panera Bread. On our name tags it says my passion is and mine says ball pythons. Well today I had a lady tell me her ball just died yesterday and he was 18 years old. I was wondering if this is a normal life span or if they tend to live longer or shorter, and whats the oldest you own or owned. Thanks Jeff.

They can live 20 to 30 years.

I just started keeping snakes so all of my snakes are pretty young. My oldest is an 05 female. So she's only 4 years old.

I got my first ball 13 yrs ago as a hatchling. He survived all my newbie mistakes (back when I didn't have internet access for research) and is still doing great!

Here is the link to another thread going on the same topic. Maybe the Mods can merge them...
