Jack and Jill ...8 years together. They are inseperable. She's the boss.
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:
