I'm Not Old!

[Coils]

Hey everyone, I was wondering who here has the oldest leo and what that age might be.

They have a certain average listed in a ton of books, but does anyone really have a lizard -that- old right now?? Would love to know who you AND your lizard are if so!

Yeah so far all my leos are in the 6-7 month range or less, but does anyone actually have an old one? Lol, would love to see some pictures...even if only a couple years old.

I wonder if leos get grumpy with old age, lol

I had a 5 year old, but i recently traded him for a little girl around 8 months. My oldest now is 3

My Sons leo is a 9 year old lazy pet. I got here in 2001 and she has been with me every since. Hope you enjoy her pic.

I like the look of older school geckos.

 

[STUTFL]

No idea how old mine is. Got him in late '08, and he was in his old home for 7 years or so.

 

[Coils]

yay, old geckos! Do the colors seem to fade with age at all?

They have a look?? *is just curious*

Mine's been a bit dull since I got him, but I don't know if it's from age or just his coloring.
(Though in the above pic he's getting ready to shed, so he's at maximum mud-color :laugh: )

He's always had brown spots instead of black, and globs instead of round spots. :laugh: He's funny-looking. :tongue3:

Bambi is my oldest girl, she is 8-9 years old. I got her as a sub-adult in 2002.

Bubu is my oldest boy, about 8 years old too.

 

[STUTFL]

Love the markings on Bambi's head.

Are these guys still active, or are they getting lazy and slooooow? lol I am curious as to how they may behave later in life. I also have to add.....Bambi's got BACK! haha, lol very healty girl

 

[gothra]

They are both still active, especially Bubu, he still climbs here and there every night. Bambi stays in her hide most of the time, but I think its only because she is too fat and lazy. I need to put her on diet to keep her in better health.

I have a ~9 year old gecko (in my avatar photo) I've had her whole life, so I know her hatch date +/- 1 year. Got her in high school (can't remember if she was born junior or senior year) and she's always been a picky princess. She looks pretty much the same as she has since she got her adult markings.

I also have two 17+ year old geckos and they are the most intense personalities of my group, bar the crazy snow enigma, and absolutely the best eaters. Sweet to people, but not to any form of bug. I've only had them for 2 years, got them from a guy on CL that had them at least 15 years and got them as adults. So who knows? But at least 17. Mama does have wrinkly skin on her sides and Papa has some white opacity to his eyes (he still sees fine), but that's about it for aging changes.

Papa (at 16) when he escaped last year by shimmying up the water bottle and squeezing out a little hole:
