Anyone know the longevity of the Taiwan Beauty Snake? My female is almost ten years old and of Love stock. Just curious on an average....Todd

Well, this all certainly can and does depend on many different factors, but with good healthy husbandry practice, it could easily live 15-20, and possibly beyond that as many other colubrids can.

Nothing to add to DMONG's answer. I'd be interested in seeing a picture. I used to have some real nice specimans and regret getting rid of them. Also I recently saw one on display at the Philadelphia zoo. It is rather huge. Awesome animals and I never see real nice ones available any more.
