Exactly! I think the record was something like 48 years, but I've heard of older. Just not sure on that.

That's so cool. I was a skeptic about getting into reptiles when I first started reading about it because I didn't think they lived real long (for some reason) and then learned later that they can live lifespans up by dog years sometimes. It was one of the reasons I got into it then. ^^

Given proper care and the luck to avoid any accidents/illnesses, snakes can live several times longer than a dog. That's why I love them so much! They live a long time, but they don't live long enough to outlive you (generally).
Your corn probably won't live as long as a ball python, but corns can get a good 20 years at least.
