She died back in 2004 at 10 years old. That picture was taken about 2 months before... We were moving, in between houses for a couple months so I had to keep her in a smaller cage and she got digestion problems. I had her at the vet for a day or two, then I left her with them when I went out of town for a couple days and when I got back she was dead.
I figured she died from the stress of moving and being at the vet, but she was 10.
What's the experience here with max age on pet iguanas?

love her color, and we dont often get ones like yours that often this days (she was a south american ig, as oposed to most of ours these days wich are from El Salvador). However dont come out and say "look I did this, you can do to", because alot of people that tryed to do just the same failed completly. Hell I herd of BABY igs dying in just a few days because they were alergic to weat or because of protein present in comercial ig foods! Romain letuce is the best letuce but its still a water based product and higly unbalanced in phosphorus, as it is banana so they are only suitable as treats. And I would never colect hibiscus flowers or leafs in a public place to offer my igs because I would fear they would be contaminated with pesticides wich is often the case. 
Now if he was already full size when you got him, I would say he is more on the 14 year old range. Dont forget to keep him very well hidrated, thats a main key in making him get into its twentys
