Hey people,
I was just reading through this info on Aussie snakes, ( http://amonline.net.au/Herpetology/r...pythonidae.pdf) It said that jungles only live for like 10years. I was under the impression that they lived for like 20years if not more.
Is someone more knowledgeable then I on this topic?
Thanks in advance.
Brock

I think it depends on how you keep them. Longevity in pythons is related to health and lifestyle as much as it is in any other species including humans.
Not sure of actual figures for Cheynei but most Morelias can live to over 20 years if kept correctly

yeah thats what I thought to. Perhaps they are referring to wild pythons.
