Life expectancy...

I have a Japanese fire-bellied newt that I have now had for 14 years. Does anybody know the text book life expectancy of his species? Pictures coming soon.

Trouble is, there is no textbook life expectancy. I recently got an e-mail from someone who has had their Japanese firebelly for over 30 years. Maybe you should include yours in your will

There was a compliation put together by the Slavens (but this has not been updated for a number of years) for pyrrogaster the longevity record is 14 years and 10 months for a wc animal.
