I've heard of leos living 20 years. But I'm sure a well taken care of (probably male) with proper requirements and great health could live upwards of 30. I said male because just because a female is never bred, they can still produce eggs (whether it be infertile, or absorbed back into the body). But yeah, this is a pretty longlived animal.

The life span of a gecko is 12-20 years. But i've heard of alot of geckos living well over 20. But 12-20 is the best answer i can give you.
