I think it would be in part because of developing an attachnment to an older snake, but in part that licensing laws to allow the general public to keep snakes as a hobby have only really loosened up in the past 10 years, (the number of keepers has also skyrocketed in his period) I guess in the next decade we will see older and older snakes around, although not necessarily for sale.

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Feb-03 Location: Gosford | | | | You want old snakes, come to my house. I have at least 30 way over 15 years old, and some close to 25 years old. My old Olive female bred for 15 years straight, and its only the last 2 years she has failed to breed. My oldest would be Collin, a colletts, who was bred by Neil Charles in 1981. Still going strong. |
