I was lead to believe from all the info out there that corn snakes live around 20 years. Now from my visit with my new, wonderful herp vet, he said that corns can live up to 30! You mean my snake can live as long as my horse? COOL!

What about garters? I've been told they live 15 years. Is this wrong? Who has a really long lived garter out there and does anyone know the record???

Also, is there any way to tell a snake's age??? I bought Draco as an adult. I believe him to be a young snake but I really don't know. ( I guess you can't read their teeth like horses! ) Do their scales have rings???? ( I expect snickers to this last one guys! )
