Post pics of you Oldest snake

I just read on here "plenty" of ball pythons have been kept alive for 30 years on a diet of mice. I read they could live 25 years in a Ball python book. So I want to see pics of the Oldest ball python you own/ have owned.

Look forward to a great thread

My oldest snake is a 14(ish) year-old Corn, but all of my Ball Pythons are still fairly young. I think my girls Mona & Nerissa are basically the same age, since I got them as full-grown adults almost 3 years ago... so I'm guessing they're both around 6 years old now? Not too impressive, but here are some recent shots of them:

Nerissa (while gravid last fall) - note she has some scarring on her nose, and also her tail, from a shipping mishap. Doesn't seem to bother her, though!

And Mona, aka "Big Kitty"

P.S. I'd be happy to post photos of my old corn too, but I think that would be against the rules. ;)

bump!

I recently obtained an old male that I was told is 22+ years old. I have no proof of course, but the story goes that the woman owned the snake about 3 years before they were married. They just recently celebrated thier 19th wedding anniversary! I have no reason to not beleive it! He has not been kept in the best conditions the last 3 years because the owners had a lack of interest. He has had 5 meals with me and I can no longer feel his ribs and his spine isnt showing anymore. I had absolutely no interest in another male normal, but I couldnt say no! I'll post a pic when I get home.

This almost 4000 gram female came from a local who told me it came from the University of Oregon and was there over 10 years.
She's got a HUGE head on her and is more head shy than most hatchlings :(
She thinks she's being slick...

This guy was imported back in 1994. So he is atleast 18 years old, I am pretty sure he was atleast a few years old when he was imported. Personaly I think he is over 20 years.

the one on the right.

This is Lacey. She was hatched in 1993 and is my oldest snake. :)

My old boy I have had for 4 years now I was given him by a friend who was no longer able to care for him due to illness. He had him for 12 years and he rescued him from someone and he was an adult when he arrived.

That makes him at least 17 years and 18 - 20 is more likely.

Aaron's comment on the 48 year old Royal is true but the missing bit of info was this animal lived in the zoo for 48 years but arrived as a breeding female... so at least 48 but again likely at least two years old when she arrived and likely 3 +...
