I am 41 and plan on adding more snakes to my home into my 50's. I had snakes from 5yrs-22yrs old. In my 20s I found snakes do not attract as many girls as a puppy, and I was involved in many sports. I no longer had the time to properly care for snakes. If I were to break up with my current GF my collection might limit the women I could date. Having been bit by more women than snakes the snakes are here to stay.
Go for it. Be responsible and as you near 70 start looking for places or people to will the snake to. In the meantime enjoy your life, and if that includes snakes go for it.
