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.
