Greetings + Longevity Question

Hello folks. I have owned Matilda (pictures attached) for just shy of 20.5 years now, and the breeder told us she was approximately 4 years when we bought her, which would have her approaching 25 years old. My searches on longevity only reveal that Corns can live up to 20-25 years. Can anyone tell me the longest I can expect her to live, and what sort of behavioral or health issues I need to be prepared to confront in her last years? The only changes I've seen in the last 5 years are that she misses more and more on her feeding strikes (I live-feed her). Thank you!

Welcome to the Source! I can't answer any of you longevity questions as I have only had corns for about 3 years! I am impressed with the longevity of your snake and that she seems to be doing so well at her age!

Jeezus... when they said "respect your elders" I'd have never thought I'd have to apply that to a snake.
