I was curious about how long some of you have had your Western Ribbons. When I purchased mine, the man at the pet store told me "they usually live a year or two after we sell them" and so I was prepared for that. Now, seven years later, my snake is still going strong and taking care of goldfish, minnows, and rosy feeders (and the occasional little frog or tadpole). Let me know what you think.
