Line 14:
In the ball python breeder community, lifespan is usually cited as 'up to 30 years', or '20 to 30 years', with the 48 year old or 49 year old record being mentioned in some cases. There is a lack of a reliable source for this information--most book authors simply go by the info provided by breeders for longevity. Scientific studies are lacking. The breeder estimate is probably the most accurate we have at the moment, and is better than nothing. Perhaps a note should be added that the longevity is an estimate.

This is an old section, but somehow it's fresh again. There is currently an article circulating claiming that a 62 year old ball python has laid eggs. Several things should arouse suspicion: it cites a Mark Wanner, but this person has no existence prior to this article and has a linkedin that seems suspect as well. Also, the article mentions that ball pythons usually stop laying eggs before they are 60; given that Guinness cites a 42 year old boa as the oldest known snake, and the St Louis Zoo website does not mention a 60+ year old snake, I'm guessing we're looking at pure bunk. But before removing this from the article, please discuss. - [[User:Lvthn13|Lvthn13]] ([[User talk:Lvthn13|talk]]) 02:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
