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.
Two species are included in the genus Iguana: the green iguana, which is widespread throughout its range and a popular pet, and the Lesser Antillean iguana, which is native to the Lesser Antilles and endangered due to habitat destruction.The word iguana is derived from the original Taino name for the species, iwana.iËÉ£wana]) is a genus of herbivorous lizards native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. The genus was first described in 1768 by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in his book Specimen Medicum, Exhibens Synopsin Reptilium Emendatam cum Experimentis circa Venena.
