How long do large constrictors typically live?

Hi folks,

About how long do large constrictors like rock pythons, retics, anacondas, and burms live? I have a burm that's at least 17 years old, but I think is a little closer to twenty, and a friend mentioned today that the average life expectancy of burms is about 20 years, though they can of course live longer.

I was under the impression that 30 years is about average. Does anyone know of any reliable sources or anecdotal evidence?

I've tried looking for sources and everything I've read is that 20 years is about average.

Thanks!
