Cleaning Day Photos

Today was cleaning day and it was definitely a family affair. The only one that did not participate was our Great Dane who was napping on the couch...

The first two photos are of the girls. The rest are boys. And if you ever wanted to know how big the AP T12s are, well they will fit a toddler. Don't worry, we change water and take him out daily!

Very nice setup and critters. The BPs are all set in those enclosures but the toddler is gonna outgrow it in a year tops. 😀

Thanks Ziggy. I'm lucky that AP makes larger terrariums. Hopefully, it should keep him contained until teens.[emoji23]

Very cute! Is he on mice or rats? :rofl: What a great "playhouse" those make for him- hard for him to resist, looks like. :)

Thank you so much. Right now cheese is the preferred snack.

Thanks you! Hoping that I'll be able to pass the torch to the little one but no hard feelings if that doesn't happen. Just hoping that none of mine live sixty something years like the BP that currently resides at the St. Luis Zoo. I believe she's 63 at this point.

It used to be 47. :confusd: This one has sure blown past that! I wasn't aware of one aged 63 either? Almost time for social security, hahahaha! :snake:

Yea, it's pretty nuts. They did an article on her last year as she layed eggs without having a partner in over 20 years. I checked up on with the zoo a few days ago and apparently one egg survived and her hatchling is doing well.

Conflicting information.

https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com...1-oldest-snake

Jun 23, 2021 — A 37-year-old anaconda named name has been officially declared the oldest living snake in captivity by Guinness World Records.

https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/70261-oldest-snake

Jun 6, 2016 — The oldest snake in captivity ever was Ben (USA, b. 31 May 1974), aged 42 years 6 days when he passed away on 6 June 2016.

Yet here is the article you see....

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54121551

Sep 11, 2020 — At an estimated 62 years old, the ball python is believed to be the oldest living snake.

So there are conflicting information as to what truth is.

And it's quite a jump from 47 years (the previous record) to 63? :confusd:

Agreed.

So does this mean we should contact the St Luis Zoo and have them apply for the oldest living snake record? [emoji16]

I dunno, but it would sure be nice to know for sure. Many of you are going to need "long-term-care" insurance policies for your BPs! :snake: And to put them in your wills...:D
