20-40yr old snake?
Don't know if this qualifies as a myth, but I'll ask here anyways. It is a fact that snakes can be as old as 40yrs in captivity. But I have never heard of anyone owning a snake even close to that.
Does anybody have 20-40yr old snakes?

It's suspected that the tigersnakes found on Chappell Island could be as much as 80 years old. They pretty much do nothing for 10 1/2 to 11 months and then when the mutton bird chicks hatch out, they enjoy a 4-6 week feast. They have been watching their growth rate for nearly 20 years now. The island is nearly void of young snakes. What the lack of young ones means? *shrug*. The theory to their longevity though is because they pretty much shut down for most of the year and only come alive for that one month to eat.

Good for you!!! I just don't like them. They are a waste of money and a waste of your life. I just perfer the traditional herbs. No additives, just right
