How old is your royal python

[Wraith]

According to most literature captive royal pythons live to be 20 to 30 years old. So I am wondering how old are your royals and who has the oldest one?

[reptilesalonica]

I own him since 1997 from a baby. Now 6 yrs old.
Here he is...

Mine's just a babe, only 1 1/2 yrs. There is post in the general discussion forum about who has the oldest herp and one person has a bp that is 24!

[Wraith]

Ya I just that Pia, That's amazing.

I have a female who laid a clutch of eggs this year (and last year, and 1999, 1997, and 1996). I acquired her in 1995 and she was over 10 years old then. SO she's close to 20 + years now. They live a LONG time. For sure.

[Wraith]

Do you have any pics of her Jeff?

4 months, 5 months, and ~3 years :)

I have one male thats about 3 years old, and a little baby of just about 5 months (and about 2ft)....we are pretty sure that the baby is a little girl....

I have one female that is about 1 year old and almost 4 ft in length.
Happy Herping,

Mine aren't that old, but Rob Carmichael could easily take the cake for having the oldest balls around :p Last I knew a few years back some of his balls were in their late 30's (maybe some in their 40's as well? I can't remember) and still producing viable clutches every year :D

fine lookin old girl there jeff. I hope my lil one reaches that ripe age and more. He's about 9 months and not quite three feet but filling out nicely

[Jeff_Favelle]

6 feet 1 inch! She was a rescue in 1995. 5 clutches and still going strong......

[Clownfishie]

Hmmm... 1 year old for me... lol. Ask me again 20 years from now! :D

In a book for Royals "Ball Python" from T.F.H, the "writer" says that they live 5-8 years!!!...Imagine how stupid some writers are...informing with bullshit the new herpers...

[striko_69]

it says in the ball python manual that the oldest on record is ....... wait for it...........purchased as a young male by roger conant, which resided in philedelphia zoo from april 26, 1945, to october 7, 1992, more than 47 years.......... something to think about

[daver676]

[lakeridgekennel]

[Jeff_Favelle]

KNow what's funny Lakeridge?? That's her SON!!! From a litter in 1997. He's going to top out at 6 feet as well. All her babies have been HUGE. The females get to 3 feet within 8 months!!
