Richard,

A very close friend of mine collected an adult male Coastal Rosy Boa in February 1974. The snake is still alive today. He doesn't move a whole lot these days. The snake was found near the town of San Jacinto. Talking with the owner of the snake, we figured it had to be at least 5 years old when found. Born sometime around 1969-1970. The snake is older than I am (31)!!!
