Lizard blizzard

[Catherine]

It is so cold in Florida that there are literally iguanas falling from the trees. They get so cold that they lose their grip and drop to the ground. Many of them are alive and could recover. Many will die from the cold.

You know it is cold when lizards are falling from trees.
The problem is the fact that iguanas are not native to Florida. They have no ability to cope with a cold snap.

Many other vulnerable introduced species are suffering from the cold and some will die.
The problem is so widespread and the cold has lasted so long that there will be losses.
I find it heart breaking to see so many beautiful iguanas dying of the cold. They are such beautiful lizards and they have such personalities. Some of the dying lizards would be released pets. They were raised to be looked after and now we have failed them.
