That's hard to tell since they're sort of slow to medium speed snakes (they don't dart around like many colubrids or retina, etc). He still seems to have very good muscle tone and strength whenever I handle him. He generally subsists well on a medium rat every other week with the occasional large cycled in. I tried to set up his enclosure such that he has to go to the opposite side from the warm hide to go get a drink and there are dowel rods, driftwood, fake plant cover, etc. to encourage exercise. So maybe that helps. I used to handle a lot when I was a kid, but now maybe once a month (low stress?). He does frequently come over and check out my arm when I do water changes and what not; so we do have frequent interaction. Overall I feel very fortunate to have been able to enjoy him for what now amounts to most of my life.
