Toad age 
They often break a decade. Some in the wild have reached nine. This is probably not cases of genetically abnormal longevity, but simply rare cases of good living conditions. Most owners babble about how easy to keep they are, while all the while tossing one corpse out the revolving door and bringing a new corpse-to-be in. So with bufoniculture being at its current level, it’s only to be expected that "theortetically average" lifespans woul still be considered long. They don’t even reach puberty until they’re two or three years old, though, so a lifespan slightly longer than a cat or dog should be expected. Except that the dog or cat probably has better veterinary care. I could find several cases of them reaching 12, one of which is still living, and one record from 1906 of one that suppposedly lived to be 36.
