About Our Lizard Years to Human Years Calculator
This simple online tool helps you estimate lizard’s equivalent human age using species-specific lifespan multipliers. Different lizard species age at different rates, so our calculator accounts for that variation to give you a more realistic comparison.
It’s perfect for pet owners curious about how mature or young their lizard really is in “human” terms.
How to Convert Lizard Years to Human Years
To convert lizard years to human years, multiply the lizard’s age by a species multiplier (based on average lifespan).
For example:
- Leopard Gecko: 1 lizard year ≈ 3 human years
- Bearded Dragon: 1 lizard year ≈ 2.5 human years
- Blue-Tongued Skink: 1 lizard year ≈ 4 human years
- Green Anole: 1 lizard year ≈ 2 human years
- Green Iguana: 1 lizard year ≈ 5 human years
So, a 5-year-old Bearded Dragon would be roughly 12 to 13 human years old.
How Many Years Does a Lizard Live?
Lifespan varies widely by species and care quality.
- Leopard Gecko: 15–20 years
- Bearded Dragon: 10–15 years
- Blue-Tongued Skink: 20–30 years
- Green Anole: 4–8 years
- Green Iguana: 20–30 years
Proper diet, lighting, and habitat conditions can significantly extend your lizard’s lifespan.

Bearded Dragon Years to Human Years
Bearded dragons age relatively quickly during their first few years.
A 1-year-old Bearded Dragon equals about 2.5 human years, and by 5 years, it’s roughly 12 to 13 human years old.
Most bearded dragons live up to 10–15 years, meaning their senior stage starts around the 7-year mark in captivity.
