Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- Not yet established
- Observations
One specimen was still alive after 6.8 years in captivity [0669]. Considering the longevity of similar species, however, maximum longevity in these animals could be underestimated. It has, in fact, been reported that these animals can live up to 23.7 years in captivity [0979], which is possible but has not been verified.
