High Mortality Rate for Iguanas in South FL
Iguanas falling off trees in South Florida – Bay News 9
Iguanas are a lizard with tropical origins and do not have the capability to withstand long bouts of cold weather.
Once the air temperatures drop below about 40-45 degrees they begin to lose muscle control and fall out of trees and other areas.
If it warms up the next day many will survive, but when you have a period of extended cold weather as we have experienced in the last week and beyond the weather proves lethal and decimates the population.
The lizards that have underground burrows are likely to survive but the ones that don’t will have a high mortality rate.
