Male
Question A. felinus Life span?

I have had cat geckos for the past 6 years now and have had some success with breeding them. But my first female I ever got just past away this past week.
I had noticed her kind of going down hill the past couple months I figured it to be old age.
so seance she was acquired 6 years ago as a WC adult I have no idea how old she was when i got her so is their any info on how long cat geckos cat live?

I figure 6 + years old is pretty good for her may she RIP

But with them being CB more and more I will be going with CB from now on.

Sorry about your loss. Although I've bred quite a few felinus at this point, I don't know from personal experience what their natural life span is. I seem to recall an old thread on this subject though. So try digging through the forum here to see what you can find.

Now that it's been a few more years that hobbyists have been working with these, is there any concensus on average lifespan in captivity?

I think Ethan was a bit tired when he wrote that. I have never housed one, but if I am not mistaken I read it's 7-9 years. If I find the source on my cluttered up computer I will post it. Sorry for your loss.

There's so many variables that go into keeping a species like this that it's really hard to say. I would say that the average lifespan for felinus is likely under 10 years. But I wouldn't be surprised to find some that have lived longer if kept properly.
