Lizards vary by species in lifespan: Chinese star agama about 5 years, leopard gecko about 8, green iguana 15-20, red tegu 12-18, savannah monitor 8-12. Most are carnivorous, eating insects, earthworms and snails, some cactus or seaweed.
To lengthen a pet lizard’s life, strictly manage its diet and keep it healthy.
