: Curious as to the age of some of your oldest captive born Drymarchons and oldest specimens that have sucessfully reproduced.
dean,
My large male, "CADILLAC", was purchased by me as an Adult(Something I never do if possible) he was all ready AT LEAST 8 years old then, that was5 years ago. that make him about13 years old at least!! Actually hes probably more... He stll breeds and produces viable young, the addition of Viagra into his waterbowl has increased his desire to breed dramatically!!(Just kidding)
His mate my 6 year old femal"Lincoln" has produced for the last several years.
as you can tell i like car names, there largest baby was named BMW! Oh well, hope this tidbit of info helped.
