Giant ball python

[davevh]

OK, this thread went way off topic (Hijack :-)).

I posted this as an introduction of myself and the hope for experienced keepers that have old snakes (that may have reached large sizes or old age) to chime in.

So please, if you have a BP snake or know of a specimen larger than six feet please post here. Since snakes grow throughout their lives (and thus get longer) this may also be an opportunity for seeing how old some ball pythons are out there. So age would be relevant.

I have heard wild reports of ball pythons reaching ages between 40 and 60 years but I believe the oldest record was 46 which is incredible (they are the longest living recorded snakes)

I am hopeful to get pics and info on the specimen I mentioned next week.

Thanks, and I hope to hear about those large snakes!
