I estimate that the gecko's lifespan can extend to 20 to 30 years if well taken care of with proper feeding, nutrition and healthcare. Leopard geckos have a shorter lifespan in nature due to predators, diseases and injuries. They are very easy to maintain and take care as pets. One can extend their lifespans by giving them supplements since insects don't have all the nutritional requirements in terms of vitamins and calories. However, there is the risk of being overzealous and large doses of calcium can be dangerous. Its commended that one replicates their natural environments. Spreading newspapers and wood chips is fine. Lessening the danger of stress should be a priority. Shelters should be large in order to lessen territorial disputes.
