l had 1 adult female Northern Blue-Tongue from Darwin NT, who was born in January 1995 and l get her in May 1995, then l decided to sell her in July 2009 cause she was to rough on my males Darwin Phase Northern Blue-Tongue's during the breeding season, she only ever breed for me 2 times in 2003 and 2004, l had her for 14 years and 2 months and l do sincerely miss not having her around with me, she was a lovely Blue-Tongue to have in my home, least l know she his doing very well at her new home.

I have a Darwin Carpet female that I got as a hatchling 17 years ago, and a male Coastal Taipan that has just turned 11.

Heres a few . My oldest was Colin the colletts snake who just died at 29. Fang, my midget Taipan died at 22. And Nasty, a WA BHP male I have owned for 23 years and was at least 4 years old at his time of capture.

Mine are just babes in the woods...so nothing for me to contribute...but..does anyone have a sliding scale for the popular reps we keep for their years v humans...eg. with dogs it is something like 7 to 1.

I think the dog scale isn't very accurate, I've heard the first 3 years are exactly the same as human years, but after that with different breeds of dogs they're life span can vary a lot too. So I would say it's the same with all species of animals. The bigger dogs don't live as long as the little dogs. So I don't think there is one specific scale.

i personally know of a 15-16 year old eastern bearded dragon. i have personally seen and held this animal. any1 have anything older than this for a beardie

 

[ADZz_93]

Here is some more photos of what was my longest kept pet Reptile in captivity, which was my beautiful female Darwin NT Phase Northern Blue-Tongue Lizard.

i spoke to someone who had a 17 year old beardie

yes that may well be but this reptiles age is estimated as it was confiscated by the epa or whateva and given to this person. if you see this animal you can easily understand its age. for an eastern it is huge. as big or if not bigger than some of the big centrals ive seen
