How old is your OLDEST BP?

On the subject of big old balls (cough). Does anyone know if there seems to a difference in longevity between male and females?
I know that BPs rate of growth slows heavily but never stops - how big were those 20 yr old 5kg snakes at age 5 and ten for instance?

Thats an amazing picture there - a huge BP, it looks like a burm/ball hybrid :)

What does he feed that damn thing. shes huge. absolutly beutiful though. but siriously does he feed it cows? jeeze!:rofl:

I have 2 '03's. The first snake I ever got was a '00 but he escaped on me.

I only have two currently but they are both yearlings

Dez is my oldest, he is 8 years old. i have a huge female (over 5ft and over 8 lbs) but i have no idea how old she is.

I have one female thats about 6 years old. I've only had her for a week but the guy that I bought her from had the paperwork on her showing that she was born in 02. She's about 1600g my biggest BP so far :D
