How old is your snake?

Hey All,

So I know that Ball Pythons have a long lifespan, but I was wondering on average how old people's snakes were here on the forum. I'm curious to know what the oldest snake is or was in your collection. Do we have any "dinosaurs" kicking around the forum.... :snake:

Let me know!!

I have an 11 yr old female that I got as a rescue last year and then a 15 year old one of my first snakes. I got her when she was 10.

Sadly my only is only 1yr & 4mo's. Hopefully she'll live out her full life span and grow to be huge. :D

I just recently got back back into snakes so my oldest is a 09 female woma ball...
Hopefully she lives a long healthy life....

I haven't been in the hobby long enough to have ancient ones! My oldest is 5 years, most are 2 or 3.

I believe it's Dr. Del who has a 16 year old female. I'm sure he'll chime in!

^^ Allegedly my rescue Tiamat was 17 when i got her (about 19 now). She's blind, scarred and eats like a pig!

my oldest is a 6 year old female bp normal. :) and my boa is 5. my youngest is 6 months :)

I have an acquired male that is about 16. Nobody is sure because the person I got him from rescued him and had to guess his age then.

My oldest is araound 12. He is a ball python named Little Dude. I bought him as a baby at a local pet shop.

my little mojo girl is gonna be 8 months old tomorrow. still a baby.

Is there any way to determine age of a snake if you don't have it's birthing records??

No, The guy I got him from had him 14 years, I have had him almost a year now and he was over 900 gm when he got him so he had to be close to a year old. A series fact and a best guess for all we know he could be 20, I know he is older than 15 years because there are records that long.

But ball pythons in captivity can love up to almost 50 years can't they?

50s a stretch as far as i know 20 though for sure
