Hi,
Just registered. I currently own just one serpent; Rudy, a male Haitian Tree Boa I bought as an 18 inch juvenile from a pet shop in New Rochelle in Dec of 1982 gno typo- 1982). So he's at minimum 30-31 years old. Along the way I also had rat, garter, & water snakes. Always been fascinated with reptiles. In the future I would be interested in a dwarf or super dwarf retic and possibly a tegu on the lizard side. Anyway, hello to all.

Hello and welcome. It's good that you've been able to stick with him all these years! The oldest snake I have is 6-7 years old, and I hope I'll be able to be with him for many more years.

Hello and welcome

Here's a recent photo of Rudy all balled up in the cuff of my wrist. He's actually 6 feet long. He currently resides in a 5Lx2Hx2.5D plastic cage w/ 2 hinged doors. He typically eats 1-2 small or a medium thawed rat ever 2 weeks or so. He also has been known to go on some lengthy fasts (2-4 months). Has never appeared ill nor been diagnosed with anything and he's been like this for the whole 30 years. Pleasant demeanor, very curious, never bites (slimed once in awhile as juvenile). Sometimes will crawl out of cage onto my arm when I go to change water or clean up. I've been very fortunate with this guy. Never thought I'd be showing him off to my own kid.

He a beauty. You should show him off in this thread.
