What age is too old to buy a ball python?

[LeeAnnT99]

LOL I was thinking 50... 55... to ensure that I didn't outlive it and have to make provisions for it in my Will!

I, as well, thought you were talking about YOUR age. Because, I considered that as well. I'm in my late 50's and I've always wanted a BP. I hesitated because of my age and how long they can live, if well cared for. But, I found out, after talking to my family -- my oldest daughter will take her, my niece will take her, and we have a much younger friend, who already has a couple snakes, who is also willing to take in Lilia -- if I go anywhere.
