[QUOTE="Xjrosie, post: 2045822, member: 112961"] Well, from what I've read, wild beardies live around 3-8 years, while captive beardies live around 9-12. Some sites even say they live 10-15 years. You would also have to consider that, when comparing species to humans, it's not an equal ratio. Depending on life stage, it could be 1 human year to 5 animal years, then change to 1:9. The scale for cats does this. My quick math says this: One beardie baby year=6 human years One beardie juvie year=8 human years One beardie adult year=5.5 human years One beardie senior year=7 human years, with an average of 6.6 human years to one beardie year overall. This is for captives, of course. None of this really answers your questions, though. Since perfect conditions don't exist and can't exist, I don't think it really matters what they COULD live to. It's the same for any animal, including humans. There are too many documented instances where perfect conditions were thought to have been met, and death came far sooner than expected. Like with humans, there have been people who ate right, exercised right, slept well, didn't overexert themselves while working, were relatively happy and content, had good mental heath, no bad habits, and they still died in their 40s. On the flip side, most of the centegenarians I've read about smoked, drank, ate what they wanted in moderation, etc. I imagine it's the same with beardies. When it's their time, it's their time.
