Same, I hope for a long and happy life with Popeye! And wow BSG, another 20 years! Another reason for possible keepers to really be sure they can care for their pet!

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.

Re: 21

Excellent. I always enjoy hearing this. I saw a YouTube video with a guy that had a 28 year old male green anaconda. And If I can this case study I stumbled upon documenting some field biologist's record of a 52 year old rubber boa, I'll put it up. I am in my 34th year with my Hispaniolan Boa, Rudy. So, good job with the ball.
