My oldest corn is Sunny, she is between 9 and 11 years old. I got her at a pet store, she was my first snake, when I was in my early teens and she was already a couple of years old but they did not know for certain how old she was.

I do however know a ball python that is in her 30's!!!!!

Holy crap!! A bp in its 30's!!!!!:sidestep:
 
My corn is 4 years and 5 feet long, I'm hoping he lives to be as old as some on here!

Whats the usual lifespan of a ball python?
 
Not to sure, I am getting my first ball python next week :p Still researching the little things.

I wouldn't worry. My Jonesy's had cataracts in both eyes since his mid-teens and is doing just fine.

Trouble is, he relies more on heat sensing now - every time I get him out of the viv, he gets very "interested" in my nose! It's a bit unnerving to have a snake sizing you up as dinner - he clearly doesn't realise that my heat-emitting nostrils are attached to something rather too large for him!
 
my older snake

This is my old boy motley sunglow, he is at least 6 yrs old but was an adult when I bought him so not really certain of his age.

I have no idea how old mine are, when do they start getting "big"? Is it after they have lived a year?
Mine still look like babies
One male hypo b sunkissed, if he could keep his food down(bein treated with nutribac) he would be the length of my arm
One female normal oketee a little smaller than the male.
 
They're usually judged to be adult by the time they hit around three years old (some sooner, some later), so plenty of time for your yearlings to grow on yet. They tend to grow along before they start filling out, so they can be shoelaces for the first 18 months!
