Green Iguanas, a non-native species to Florida are typically in Central America, the tropical part of South America, and the eastern Caribbean Islands. Iguanas are cold-blooded so

Many iguanas in South Florida have adapted to going deep into burrows where they stay insulated from the cold. They also tend to live close to large bodies of water, which are usually warmer than the air temperatures, helping them survive short cold snaps.

Although several iguana species live in Florida, the predominant one is the green iguana, native to Central and South America. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, green iguanas are considered invasive in the state.

If you have heard about iguanas falling from trees, this is what is happening. When temperatures drop, especially in South Florida, these iguanas and other nonnative reptiles can go into a state or torpor where they lose muscle control.

"It’s gonna happen," biologist Joe Wasilewski warned. "If it’s in the 50s, they’re slow. If it’s in the 40s, they’re on the brink of falling. And if it’s in the 30s, they’re down.”

January in Florida is typically "frozen iguana" season or when we feel cold temps. Is anyone in the ocean this time of year? If so, webcams show it.

When temperatures drop in South Florida, it can cause a big problem for Floridians: falling iguanas. When it gets too cold, the large invasive reptiles — which can grow to be up to 5 feet long and 20 pounds — get stunned by the temperatures and will often fall out of trees onto the ground or whatever may be passing by below.
