Super Giants

Why are there not more Super Giants going around?
Why are people not more interested in breeding them?

I see them on Ron Tempers site fairly often. They seem to go fast though.

They tend to not live as long as the "normals"

How long do they need to live to not be very long?
Normals can live 20 years; the super giants haven't been around half that long.

Half the people keeping leopards aren't old enough to have a leopard gecko reach it's potential lifespan.

How old is the oldest living super-giant?

I dont mean to answer a question with another question but is this a true morph? reptiles in genral keep groing throughout there life although very slowly once maturity has been reached so the question is did you just purchase a true giant or just an old gecko hence the shorter life span?
