Nah, 1000s of years is pretty ridiculous for anything. On Earth we have the Galapagos tortoise that can live around 200 years if the conditions are right, but they don't lead the most active lifestyle, unlike Fatalis (which looks like a predator). I could see Fatalis doing about 100 years, though. Reptiles in general have pretty slow metabolisms, and there can't be many things willing to prey on even a sub-adult Fatalis. I would love to know where Lao gets his energy to survive from. Sharp teeth and those weird things on his jaw suggest a carnivorous diet, but it's never going to catch anything at that speed.
