Lifespan, longevity, and ageing

provided by AnAge articles
Observations: Not much is known about the longevity of these animals and they are difficult to breed in captivity. In the wild, they appear to live on average 3-7 years. One specimen lived 17.2 years in India. Their maximum longevity is likely much longer (Sathyakumar et al. 1993).
