My oldest ball python is 21 years, she's in retirement right now, she's just a pet. She's a gentle giant and in great health still.
Never had one die so far. I keep them in bins. I can tell you right now most cases of dead bp's don't die from old age, they die from keepers who take bad care of them because of pet store advice, or having no idea how to care for them...and most of those bad keeps have aquariums.![]()
