Yeah, it was really cold here last night! And to make it worse, it was and still is windy. Poor iguanas...but they aren't supposed to be here in the first place. They were introduced so they aren't meant to be in sub-tropical regions.

I have read there are a few other introduced reptile species in Florida. While I was looking for care sheets for white spotted geckos, I read they were introduced to Florida. I wonder how all those introduced species are doing.

Good post!

Well, unfortunately they aren't doing to well probably. I hate that people have introduced these species into Florida and they are incapable of living in this environment when it gets this way.
