Nobody really knows for sure because they really haven't been kept in captivity for that long and husbandry gets better all the time which we hope will extend their lives. Right now I think the average is around 8-10 years but they've made it into their teens before and with proper husbandry from the beginning who knows.

if its being kept as strictly a pet than probably 8-10 years (depending on how well its being kept)like heartmountain said
However if it is a rigorous breeder than probably 5-7 years.
However if we can exceed our average expected life span than dragons can exceed theres; there are uncommon individuals that will exceed 10 years of age.
