Florida's Freezing Iguanas: What We Witnessed
You may have heard about falling iguanas last week when it went to freezing over night in South Florida. Well, it’s a real thing!
Temperatures in the 30s and 40s will cause an iguana’s body processes to slow so much that they can’t hang on and will fall off of their perch. Usually as it warms back up, they will thaw out and move along like nothing happened. That was not the case for the one we found. 😞 I’m pretty sure the ~20ft drop to the ground from the tree above did him in.
