    That's amazing.

    I have known other snake keepers who were amazed that I managed to keep mine alive and thriving past 10 years old. I remember one guy who told me that his bcc grew to near 14 feet and died at 7 years old. After learning that he was feeding it jumbo rabbits twice a month I wasn't really surprised why it grew so large but died so quickly. Really sad.
