How long can live a newt in captivity?

[OZIRIS]

Hello all,

I wonder how long could live a newt, anyone knows? or at least, the maximum time that someone has had one at home.

Regards

My three Notophthalmus v. dorsalis are approaching at least 18 years. Or maybe they've already passed that... I keep forgetting how old I am

I think Jen's were older...

I have a male Chinese Firebelly that is 11 and very healthy. I didnt know they lived that long when I got him, boy was I surprised when he lived over 3 years, which is what the store said they live for 3-4 years.
