Hi Kate,

I have several eastern kings that are in the 19-20 range and they are showing no signs of old age yet. They are alert, bright colored and breeding with vigor. Typical reported signs of true old age are faded color, lethargy, wasting and cataracts (as Frank mentioned). However, these symptoms could simply be a factor of the past husbandry they received.

Will
