    Breed her! She'll be fine. The good thing is if she's at a great weight and never been bred, you never know how many eggs she's gonna plop out.

    The longevity record for snakes in captivity was indeed a Ball Python. It was purchased as a young adult male by the Herpetologist Roger Conant and resided at the Philadelphia Zoo from 1945-1992, 47 years.

    If she is in good health give her a shot and see if she goes. Good Luck

    Thanks for that Info.. Maybe the Sydney Female then wasn't longest living but laying good eggs in age 38 is still impressive form me
