I got some hatchlings back in early 05, and they have done well.

I keep them cool (mid 70's) feed them smaller food items 1-2 times a week, and I don't handle them.

I also keep their cage fairly sterile (aside from a container with damp moss, which they spend a bit of time in)

I dealt with a number of WC and the longest any of them lived was just over a year.
