    Who here has the oldest BP?
    I was just wondering since BP live so long. How old is/was the oldest BP you have/had?
    Thanks

    I have a 6yo pastel female and on this board that seems ancient! Lol most folks on here seem to have mostly babies with maybe a handful of breeding age adults. Will be interesting to see the replies!

    I have two females that I am not sure how old they are but they are proven breeders. One I was told was an '05/'06 and she's the biggest of the bunch at about 2500g and the other I just recently got and have no idea how old she is. Her head is bigger than the other one, but she's thin compared to her. I really have no idea how old either of them are. The rest of mine are 2010/2011s, minus one who I believe is a 2009. So in short, none of mine are very old. :P

    Hi,

    I think Cleo is around 17 but can't find the book to be sure.

    Salome is probably older but I got her at a good size so have no definate idea.

    Our male pastel will be 7 coming April. He's still a good boy even though he's old. (Somewhat")

    I have a normal female that I got as a baby in '02, and a pastel male that I got as a baby in '04. You would never believe how much I paid for him if I told you......from the looks of things around here, I don't think many people on this board were even keeping snakes then......

    I have an import whom I have no idea exactly how old she is, but she's a BIG girl. I also have one who is for sure 7 or 8 and one who is around 10.

    I bought a girl off Craigslist 2 years ago that the girl told me she had her for 11 or 12 years. So she's 13 or 14 now.

    I also have 4 WC girls that I have no clue how old they are.

    Mine are all 2008 babies..

    I do have a carpet python that was hatched in 1996 by the Barkers, currently my oldest snake at 15 years.

    Hi,

    I'm sure when we asked this last there were a load of people with snakes older than mine.

    Give them time to find the thread. :)

    17 is still pretty old. Ball pythons can live through their 20's and even into 30ish but its rare to see a 30 year old Ball python IMO. The oldest I have ever seen was 22. My oldest is 3 LOL

    I have a 11-12 year old male but he arrived an adult so he is at least 12 years as I can account for all 12 but the rest is anybodies guess. I have seen a 35 year old in a zoo and I believe the san diego (correct me if this is not the right one) had a 48 year old female and two others over 40. (at least again she was an WC adult so 48 years in captivity)
