so now that my siren has died i am wondering how long i can expect my firebelly newt to last. he has been with me since 1990 and is mighty tough (a roommate stepped on him once and split his neck open but he mended up just fine). his mate passed away about a year ago but i still have one of their offspring too. junior is about 12.
 
I heard fire belly can live up to 25 years. I dont know if that is true.
 
yes, on "Popular Amphibians" (Philippe de Vosjoli, 2004) Said that is will live up to 25 years if kept properly.
 
There are reports of Japanese firebellies (pyrrhogaster) living 50 years in captivity. I've heard from 2 different people who claimed to have had theirs 25-30 years. If he's pyrrhogaster, he could still be with you for a long time!
