    Re: How old is the oldest ball in your collection?

    I've had my BP for 9 or 10 years, and he/she was an adult when I got it.

    I just wanted to say "Nice phrase" on TheMolenater2! It reads "I am not afraid of snakes because I got balls"

    My oldest is Irulan, the normal female who started it all! I don't know her exact birth date (just the year), but my best guess is that she's somewhere in the neighborhood of three years, two months old. I just weighed her the other day, and she's at ~1741 grams. She is my sweetie girl; she will always be my favorite, no matter what morphs I get.

    Since I got the other 2 girls a couple of years later but as adults/ sub adults I would have to say she is my oldest.

    I finally got round to transfering all the snake info onto degei and managed to find the original notebooks for the other snakes.

    Salome came to me on 21/2/1997 and the note next to that says she was seven according to the woman I got her from.

    So if that was the right info she is 19 years old.

    Maybe I should cut grandma some slack for not laying me any eggs.

    My oldest ball python is 4 years old, and I've had him since the end of May.

    My oldest snake is Phoenix, a corn snake, who's 15 years old, and I've had him since the middle of June.
