My oldest right now is a 7-year-old male Biak GTP, Archimedes. He's a great snake, and super tame to boot. When I got him, he came in with an RI, poor thing, and his first experience with me was me pinning him down and sticking him with antibiotics every 3 days and soaking him every night. And the sweetie still doesn't try to bite me!! I also have an 8'4" coastal carpet male that I have no idea how old he is. His previous owners decided he got too big and I picked him up at a show. Nicest, friendliest snake you could ever ask for. I imagine he has to be at least 5 or more considering his large size.

My corn is 10 years old and I'm told another 5 - 8 years would be normal. I've had him since he was just a few months old.

That's a sweet corn. How long is it?

Thanks.

The last shed I measured was 69" so allowing for stretching when it came off I reckon that makes him 63" long.
