We have a seven and a half year old which DH has had since the snake was a tiny baby. We also have a five year old we just bought. In addition, we own a massive female whose age is unknown, but we suspect she's quite old.

I have one BP and he's 19 years old. I got him when I was in 6th grade. Bought him from the manager of a local pet store, who was also the breeder. He's right around 48" and doing well. I've learned a lot from him.
Re: How old is the oldest ball in your collection?
My oldest male I bought in 93 he was my first. He was close to 1000g then. So Id say he was close to two years old when I got him . So that should put him around 18 years old or so. Hes been as big as 3500g, But Ive noticed his eating has slowed down alot. He hovers around 2500g now. He only eats about ever two months all year long. He use to eat every week, he still gets offered food every week just doesn't take. Temps are good humidity is good. Here is a picture of him.
