I suppose they go into a semi-hibernation when they get too cold. That might be okay perhaps if it was only cold for a few days. But in on-going cold weather, they might eventually die?
"Don't pick them up"? Why not? Maybe putting them in the sun isn't such a great idea, as they will warm up only to get cold again when night falls or the shade comes. But surely someone could go round and rescue these Iguanas? And put them all in some large dog crates or something in a nicer environment, until the cold snap passes?
Yes it's the old story of releasing "pets" into the wild. That's never a good idea and the animals can really suffer if they are not meant to be in that environment.
