Longest lifespan? Colubridae

Hi all,
I was wondering, which species of colubridae live the longest time? Of course I know that it all depends on proper care, good health of the animal etc.
For now on I can only think about corn snakes - up to about 20 years, but mostly around 15-18. Any ideas on species that can live longer?

Indigos can live up to 25 years. But, I'm sure there are species that live longer than that.

Kings have gotten near 30 years, more typical is around 20 years or a bit less.
