I've yet to own an animal from birth to death so I cant say how long they can live in my care... i do have a little input though.

I purchased a grey band and at the time of purchase was told he was 17 years old. I kept him going for an additinal 7 years, though his last 2 he didnt keep weight very well.

I also collected a monsterous ancient desert king that looked about 100... scarred, eye damage/ possibly cataracts, tail tip missing, and string measured to be 63". of course there is no way to know for sure how old he was upon collection, but I'd bet money that he was at least 15. He went on to be half of the first pair of kings I ever bred and I parted ways with him 4 years ago after owning him for about 9 years. He could still be alive for all I know as he was still active, hungry, and strong when I gave him away.
