I read that its somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 years. Of course how well they are cared for I'm sure plays a big effect.

No, definitely longer. There is a record of a 26 (As far as I remmeber..or 23??-should look it up)year old wild (!) aegyptian Uro. In captivity they should have the potential to live longer. I would bet that 20 years are easily possible for most species and I would also bet that 30 or more years are reachable for some specimens.
