What happens when Iguanas get too cold up while up in the trees during freezing weather. DUCK!

Heh, kinda reminds me of the iguana I had back at college. He would sit on the window sill and sleep there at night. In the winter the sill got pretty cold and in the morning he'd be stiff as a corpse. He'd revive though and appeared no worse for wear.

I'll have to upload the pictures. Not just my yard, but my car had a complete layer of ice across it that took me 10 mins to melt before I could drive. Now its 51 out! This doesn't happen in FL.

Sure it does, just not very often. It did in the mid 80's and killed a ton of orange orchards.

Not global warming, nor global cooling. 1899 even Florida dipped to minus zero!

Isn't the cold convenient for Florida in this case? Weren't they trying to eradicate or at least pare down the Iguana population? If they fall out of the trees when cold, they would be easy to capture. Just pick them up, then summarily relocate the little devils. I read somewhere that they were non-native pests.
