    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.

    Re: Cleaning Day Photos

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

    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! And to put them in your wills...
