Oldest bearded dragon?

[Damieboo]

How old are your bearded dragons? Any that have surpassed 10 years? Was reading an article and came across this.

"For many years it was assumed that an acceptable captive life span for a bearded dragon was between 5 and 7 years. Luckily, as a result of improved husbandry techniques, and an overall better understanding of dragon biology, life spans exceeding 10 years are no longer uncommon."

Good news for the beardie world! My oldest is 4 years, turning 5 in March. Gives me hope to think she'll have another 5-8 years left in her.

I read a post a few days ago about a guy who had his beardie for over 20 years. It was from a while back but I still thought it was really cool.

Here's the link for you

2013 had a confirmed 14 year old: http://www.lutterworthmail.co.uk/news/mail-news/guinness-a-day-helps-lizard-to-old-age-record-1-3700353

Tsam's 7, and I lost a rescued dragon earlier this year who was about 8 with liver problems.

My Trixie is turning 11 this year. It's kinda even a miracle she's alive at all. She has a broken back, but it's healthy and happy as could be. I'll post pictures of her at some point. She's brumating right now, so I only see her once a week for a bath time.
