All the literature I've read says 25 to 30 years. I can't say that I've kept one that long, so I don't have any first hand knowledge in that area.

I have acquired two immature males since this post was started to breed with my female though. Still probably a year or more away from any possible slings of my own.

Hey Botar,
I have a male that should mature next year sometime.I hope.
After me and John are done with him I'll send him to you.
If all goes well.
Here is a pic of my female.It's a year old though.

Sweet. That would be awesome. I doubt my males will be ready by then.

They are very similar to B. smithi in most every way... including prices.
