I feel longevity is very important in context. That is, first a reptile must achieve life events then the time can be measured.

For instance, many of the longevity records are of snakes that were fed four to eight times a year, never grew up(dwarfed) and never produced offspring. That is more torture then longevity.

Also longevity in females is something I would be interested in. Unfortunately, there are no records of such.

I have an ackie that I got as a young adult in 1991, that is sixteen years and counting. Its a male and has spawned many many generations. Cheers
