Leopard Gecko age

[fishlover88]

Hey this is actually my first post in this section of the site. Anyways. I thought maybe id take a second and post a question about my second passion lizards.

Ive kept all sorts in the past, but ive focused on fish and onnly keep one specimen anymore. He is my leopard gecko wishbone (yeah after the dog). He is going on 12 pretty soon. and i was wondering whats the oldest anyone has ever kept one? and how old do they get? Ive heard 20+ years. but i was wondering if this is right.

I believe Vicious_Fish has a pair that is either going on or just turned 16.

Yep, my oldest pair just turned 16 in April and they're still laying eggs to this day. I actually just hatched a pair of egg from the two a few weeks ago.

Here's two of the babies I've hatched from my 16 year old pair. The dad is a wild type and the mother is a high yellow. These photos are from about 2 weeks ago so these girls have grown a bit since then.

They look great Seth, the right hand one looks real yellow. Does the other have a blacker head?
