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!

My corn snake Checkers is about 10 years old. I've had her ever since she was a hatchling pretty much.

Here she is.

The oldest one I have is Lestat, who is a male spider bp. Finally managed to get a job and pay for him myself (he was my first) and named him after a character in Interview with a Vampire. He was just a little hatchling when I got him and he will be turning 3 in January! So proud of him, and he's just a sweetie. He has never struck at me, and he's pretty chill and a little weird but he's definitely my little baby

When I first got him he fit in a tiny deli cup:

Loved his little coconut:

Now he's a nice big boy weighing around 1,300 grams and over 4 ft.

I look forward to keeping him until he decides to take his journey

I also have 2 other female bps that are now 3 years old...

Esmerelda who is a pastel bp weighing around 1,400 grams and around 4ft. She turned 3 on Halloween.

Jade our Phantom female also turned 3 in October. She weighs 1,800 grams and is over 4 ft as well.
