How old is/was your oldest ball python

My oldest was 22 years with me when it passed, but it was an adult WC when I received him, so unknown actual age.

very little noticable difference in behavior and they have had no health issues yet, still eat just as aggressively as the young ones

Most of ours are hatchling-6 years old but my sons first pet Ball Python will be 12 in December. He is a normal and even though he is surrounded now by genetics of all sorts he has a tub for life. He is also the only one with a name lol. The rest all have ID numbers.

My oldest Female normal is 14 years old. [emoji1688]

Okay, going off topic but does that hand emoji have 6 fingers? It got me going through the emojis on this site and there's a lot of good ones.

:grabbed:

I have one male wild type python that I bought as a captive hatched baby in 1993. So far I do not notice changes in behavior. He still has bouts of just wanting to hide and bouts of wanting to explore and not eat ( looking for a girlfriend?).

Thanks for the zoom in, I kept scrolling up and down and I swear without the zoom it still looks like 6 fingers. lol

Of course buying from a reputable breeder is important, but does morphology play a role in life expectancy?
