Hello, my DM is starting a new campaign with everyone as goblins and kobolds. Does anyone know what adulthood, middle age, old and venerable age would be?

The answer is in the Races of Fearun book. That's about all I can tell you.

Edit:Ehm, are Kobolds mentioned in races of Fearun? I can't recall... Maybe you should try Races of the dragon.

Ok thanks. Does anyone know for goblins? I'd guess shorter than gnomes, but longer than humans.

I highly doubt goblins are long-lived, given the fluff associated with them. Things that live for ages don't generally breed like rabbits or cockroaches. Quick and dirty, I just use half-orc ages for them until I get something better.

Bhuka, in Sandstorm are a type of goblin... maybe use their ages...since they might be the closest thing.

Look at Dragonwrought kobolds. They get Draconic lifespans.

Look at Dragonwrought kobolds. They get Draconic lifespans.

They aren't as negatively affected by age as everyone else, and they DO get a bonus to their maximum age based on their draconic type, but they don't get what you might term Dragon-like lifespans of 1200+ years... more like an extra decade or two.

Edit: did you mean age categories? Because their lifespan IS categorized into the wyrmling->great wyrm sections... but that's all kobolds, not just Dragonwraught, I think.
