Captive iguanas often live to be 10-12 years old. There are reports of them having lived past 20 years in captivity. Only about a third of the iguanas sold in pet stores survive to maturity because of importation stress, improper diet, temperature and sunlight. In the wild, the number is even lower because the babies are finger-food for a number of jungle predators.
Land iguanas are large â more than 3 feet long â with males weighing up to 30 pounds. They live in the drier areas of the Islands, and in the mornings can be found sprawled beneath the hot equatorial sun. To escape the heat of the midday sun, they seek the shade of cacti, rocks, trees or other vegetation.
