I've been told they only have a life span of about a year. They are hard to keep alive through the shipping process because they loose the digestive enzymes they need to properly digest their food, so they commonly will die in transport or shortly after arrival due to inability to process nutrients. I lost all 4 of mine inside 2 weeks of each other, I had them for about 6 or 7 months at the time. They are delicate little buggars. I like them but I won't be keeping them again.
