Re: How old is the oldest ball in your collection?
well i ghavd/had a couple growing up I had one female that was a rescue I kept her for 5 years before she died ( this was before I had a stable internet and any info Outside the little books you can but at the pet shop back inthe mid 90's she was about 5 lbs then and almost 6 ft long she never breed Was my first rescue ball python I wish I had pics she was so much fun I am guessingshe was at least 12 yeatrs old the person that own her husband had died and she was not a snake person ( she said they were married 4 years and he had it befor they met 2 years befor that )
but I doe have a corn and a black rat that are both in the mid to late teens lol ( black rat was the firt snake ever for me , and been the blame- joy of me getting into reptiles. )
Re: How old is the oldest ball in your collection?
We have a seven and a half year old which DH has had since the snake was a tiny baby. We also have a five year old we just bought. In addition, we own a massive female whose age is unknown, but we suspect she's quite old.

My oldest, and first Ball Python is turning 10 this summer.
Re: How old is the oldest ball in your collection?
I have one BP and he's 19 years old. I got him when I was in 6th grade. Bought him from the manager of a local pet store, who was also the breeder. He's right around 48" and doing well. I've learned a lot from him.
Re: How old is the oldest ball in your collection?
My oldest male I bought in 93 he was my first. He was close to 1000g then. So Id say he was close to two years old when I got him . So that should put him around 18 years old or so. Hes been as big as 3500g, But Ive noticed his eating has slowed down alot. He hovers around 2500g now. He only eats about ever two months all year long. He use to eat every week, he still gets offered food every week just doesn't take. Temps are good humidity is good. Here is a picture of him.

The oldest one we KNOW his birthdate turns eight years next month, and was purchased as a new baby.
The oldest if I would take a guess is either him or our huge female of unknown age- she could be 20 for all I know.
hahaha oops just noticed I'd already answered this before :) Duh!
