Well I just did a search with google and found various answers. This is what it said on Wikipedia ..... 'The lifespan of the average White-Line Gecko is usually 3-4 years. However, if properly taken care of, they can live 6-10 years, perhaps longer.'

I found another site that said 7-10 years and another that said 10-20 years. The babies that first hatched for me are a little over 4 months old and they're only 1/5 - 1/4 the size of the parents. They don't seem to grow as fast as cresties.

Unfortunately I have no idea how old the adult pair that I have are. I've had them for about 8 months and the female came with eggs ready to stick to the glass!

Dyesub Dave.

Hey! lol you're in London Ontario!!! You attend the reptile shows don't you!?!?!?! I think i might actually be willing to give these Skunk Geckos a shot sometime in the near future! Maybe I can talk to you about it seeing that you are fairly close?:P

I'm at most of the shows and I will be at the June one for sure helping one of my buddies out.

The only show that I've been to is the Feb. show that just passed. I'm not sure if I'll be at the next one or not. It's 2 hrs. away and I don't drive. So unless I can find somebody else from my area that's going I likely won't be there.

However if you're ever coming to London let me know. I currently have White Lines and Cresteds for sale and am working on Gold Dust Day Gecko's and Fire Skinks as well.

Alright well, no big deal. Those white lines are pretty cool but I think I would be most interested in those Velvet Banded Geckos lol get those going good. I'm working with P.Pictus, Tokays, Bearded Dragons, Blue Tongue Skinks, Giant Day Geckos, Banded Cave Geckos, and thats probably about it.....for now lol but yeah we will be in touch.

Oh Yeah .... I forgot about the Banded Velvets. The females look chubby but I haven't found any eggs or babies yet. Of course I don't go sifting through their enclosure very often either.

I'd like to get some Giant Day Geckos sometime. Maybe we can work out some sort of trade at some point.
