The National Weather Service Miami-South Florida warned the public on Sunday (January 30) that immobilized iguanas could fall from trees due to cold temperatures across the region. Iguanas are cold-blooded. They slow down and become immobile when temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. They may fall from trees, but they are not dead.
