Ok, here's the thing. I spent a full career in the military where owning an animal just wouldn't have been fair due to my travel schedule and how often I changed duty stations. I've got all that behind me now, and have my new BP safe and secure in his enclosure as I type this. Now after years of wanting a BP I finally have one, and, here's the kicker, would like to add two or more over the nex couple of years as my experience level grows.

But,

I'm about to turn 43 years old, and we're dealing with animals that could live for 20 years or more with proper husbandry...now, I'm just an old country boy, but that math ain't hard to do. I'll possibly be 63 or older before Bacchus goes to chase rats in the sky. Each BP I add in the following years will extend out that time line. I have no problem with the idea of keeping snakes into my 70's, but What if I don't live that long? What happens to my little guys? Can I put snakes in my will?

So, my question for the forum is, how old is too old to keep adding BP's to my collection. Has anyone else thought about this stuff, or am I just the old weird guy?
