Hi all
I was just wondering what was the longevity for a central netted dragon? it appears from reading that anything over 9 year is considered old.
I have a female central netted dragon who is over 14 years and just come out of hibernation. She has always lived by herself, spoilt rotten in a large enclosure decked out with natural furnishings and deep red desert sand where she hibernates every year often for up to 6 months. I got her originally from Shannon Plummer as a hatchling and have a signed copy of her book from 2010. She is definitely aging but I feel every year she comes out of hibernation successfully is a bonus year for us.
I do have a few old animals in my collection which live in a dedicated reptile room including my water dragon at 23 years (from hatchling) and childrens python at 27 years old (from 3 years old).
Thanks
Carlie
