Awhile ago I posted a question on several of the snake forums requesting information on the largest/longest snake currently in captivity. Unfortunately, like so many other topics and information concerning snakes and reptiles, very few could agree or even provide a solid, sure & confident answer.

Well, I must be a glutton for punishment but here goes...

What is the oldest snake speciman currently ALIVE in captivity?
What about a species by species breakdown.

Thank You,

*NOTE: I know that the world record for the longest lived snake was 47 years (a Royal/Ball Python aquired and cared for at The Philadelphia Zoo), many of those 40 years cared for under the management of Roger Conant.
