My oldest was my '99 male Ball Python who passed away last year. After keeping turtles since '94 he was my first snake, and pretty much reptilian love of my life. I had been researching snakes in snake books since I was about 4 or 5 years old, and actually owning a snake was something that took me months to actually comprehend.
He passed last year of a sudden tumour that the vet couldn't fix. This is him in all his glory!
My oldest now would be my '05 female BCI. Had her right from Weanling rats, to her large rabbits now! She's now pushing 8' and 40 pounds of a whole lotta love!
This is her with her first litter back in early 2012. She'll be breeding again this year after taking last off.
Her in her enclosure in 2010. She is a beautiful girl! I should grab some new pics of her actually... 2 and 3 years old is a shame!
