Celebarating the old timers.
I know many of us have been keeping snake for years or decades. So i thought we should have a thread dedicated to the older reptiles. So lets see pictures of everyone oldest reptile. All i ask is let keep this to the reptiles over 5 years or older. Lets see a picture from when they were younger and now.
I'll start with Electra my Jungle she will be 11 years next month.
From about 3 years ago. Wish i had some older pictures of her.
Couple days ago.

Re: Celebarating the old timers.
My first and favorite snake. I got him when I was pretty young(around 6 or 7), so I'm definitely younger than a lot of ya.
I've made many mistakes on this guy, but they've all bee corrected.
Meet Diamond, my [male] Ball Python, he's at least seven years old.
Took both of those pictures a few minutes ago At the moment he's love-squeezing my neck and shoulders so he doesn't fall off, it's kinda uncomfortable. At least he isn't trying to be a hat or a bandana like in this (bad) photo:

Re: Celebarating the old timers.
I'm not gonna lie, I let my BP's give me cool snake neck massages in the summer when it's hot. It's really refreshing :P
My oldest snake is Julian at around 5 years. He's not really old at all. lol

Re: Celebarating the old timers.
Great thread. I have a nearly 10 year old snake but I've only had him for 5 months. Does that count?
