Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- Not yet established
- Observations
One specimen lived 10.1 years in captivity [0669]. Considering the longevity of similar species, however, it is likely that maximum longevity is underestimated in this species. Indeed it has been reported that they can live up to 27.2 years in captivity [0979], which is plausible but has not been confirmed.
