I don't think you would have much sucess trying to breed them. As for their life span I would imagine about a year. -Nemo [span class="edited"][Edited by N e m o 2004-08-22 02:31][/span]

The males may also have a darker line running the length of their bellies and wrinkles behind their eyes. For breeding and lots of other reliable info, visit www.dwarfpuffers.com. Kim
