My photography skills aren't as great as some, but I would like to show off the very first snake I ever had.

I purchased Jasper in Feb 1993 at a dinky, rat-shack petstore as an adult. I still have him to this day, and I'm guesstimating his age to be at least 17 yrs old.

The old S.O.B. has decided he prefers nothing but light-colored hamsters in recent years, but I love him anyway.

My oldest male I bought back in 93 also. He was atleast 2 years old when I got him. Does yours still eat every week? Mine only eats like every 2 months or so. I offer him food every week he just doesnt eat. He takes a large rat almost every 2 months give or take a few days. Mine stays right around 2100g. Hes not loosing any weight but weight gain has slowed way down.

He eats about every 1-2 months...if he wants to, lol. On two separate periods over the past decade, he went 8 months without eating anything.
