I bet 30 years is closer to a real age you can expect a captive bred pet ball python to reach. I doubt there are many CBB ball pythons dying at 20 years unless they've been overfed/bred a great deal. It's definitely an interesting topic with answers that will change, or become truer, as more time passes.
Yeah, I wish we could get comments on this from someone who has kept a lot of animals for a long time. As far as I know most of us on here that are active relatively small time.
Re: Power feeding VS "Frequent feeding"
Thanks for all the answers. I won't try the frequent feeding. (I suspected I wouldn't do it. The most important thing is the health of my snakes. I see them as pets, not breeders).
Anyone know how to close or end a thread?????? I'm new here
