    Your snake(s) age?

    I know that Ball Pythons can live anywhere from 20-almost 50 yrs old and I've noticed here lately that some people on here have talked about having 20+ year old Balls...I'm curious...How hold old is YOUR snake or snakes?

    I've only had snakes for a year so all I have is 2 Balls that are a year old, a 2010 Cal-King and a 2010 Corn.
    3.0 Normal Ball Python (Fluffy, Nado, & Muffins)
    0.1 Amel Corn (Red)
    1.0 Hypo Lavender Albino Ruby Eye Cal King (Vlad)
    0.1 Lesser Ball Python (Sophia)

    Seems like a lot of people are relatively new to snakes

    All of the info I have read about their lifespan in captivity has said 20-40 yrs with the possibility of 50 yrs. I'm sure 50 is very rare but apparently still possible.

    http://www.anapsid.org/ball.html

    Now I don't know how true this is, but on this page it says that the oldest recorded Ball Python was 48 yrs old when it died. I had heard this somewhere other than this page before as well, if I track it down I'll post it too.

    I hope my guys live that long! If they do, they'll probably outlive me but that's ok, my son is becoming quite the snake handler
