Older Snakes

Spring is here!
Since Dogstar brought it up. I thought it would be kind of nice to see Who's got older snakes, And what if any health issues you have found with them.

Great Idea...
May I add...Can we see a picture of it with a weigh and lenght??
 
yes yes! anyone with snakes older than 6?
or (gasp) older than ...10?

there must be some out there!
my theory is that most people on this forum are breeders, who tend to sell off older snakes, or new owners, who have younger snakes.

I have yet to see a picture of a corn over 6yrs....
 
A long time ago I have posted a thread asking to see snakes that were from 1999 or older. I got a few responses, so maybe they'll post on here again. I think there are only 5 people that have those kind of snakes. I hope people have more! Good idea too it is topical.

I think so also Jimmy. My hope is more people will post and let us know just how an older corn fares healthwise. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
 
Both of these were born in 1999. I sold the last of the '95 -'98 last year.

He's 365 grams or so and 43"
 
One more thing.

He's perfectly heathy, with no issues such as blindness as far as I can tell.

he's actually the most active corn I have.
 
Thank you all for your responses. I do hope more with elders will respond with any kind of health issues they've come upon or think will happen in the near future.. hope you have thought this thread has been of help to all....Again thanks!
