what's the longest living reptile you have?

[BARRAMUNDI]

I was maintaining a Coastal Taipan until recently that has been in captivity for 29 years, I believe she was a juvenile when first collected, she is still alive,

A friend has two diamond x coastal pythons that will turn 20 in January. He's had them since they were hatchlings. They are also housed together (just to get everyone up in arms). I was looking at them today because they are kept at our school. They are much slimmer than my MD (also at school) and have pretty big heads. Length is only about 5 -6 foot. They seem to take after the diamond side of their heritage.

My diamond died in August, aged 19.

8 year old litoria fallax?

There is a guy, Steve, at the SAHG who has (unlike many of us) retained quite a few specimens he originally kept when he first got into keeping. He has a shingleback he obtained in the 1970's still going (and was an adult at the time), and some other very long lived specimens of different species. I also know of an 20 yo beardie and a 22 yo acanthurus.

it would be heartbreaking to lose an animal that had been in your life for so long
