Hello

Was just wondering how old do corn snakes noramlly get when kept as pets?

Obviously this will depend from snake to snake but my Jakey is about 12 and most people seem very surprised he's lived this long (including the vets)? Most people on here seem to talk about younger snakes and I was wondering if Jake would be a OAP in the snake world or if he's still likely to have a lot more years left in him.
