thanks for the info. its pretty amazing to see how long these snakes can live in captivity but im sure the diet and close to natural conditions you kept them in is the reason. also, were there a lot of vet visits over the years for these snakes?

with regard to the different color morphs, are there any that seem shorter or longer lived than others? one can read a million papers on the subject but i feel nothing speaks the truth more so than real experience and there are exceptions to every rule of course. I have read that albino animals have a shorter life expectancy than many others, in the wild this is no doubt due to heat absorbution and predation, but i was wondering if this still stands true for the captive snakes.

if anyone else would like to add to this topic please do

thanks for reading
