Florida “Iguana Freeze” Warning: Cold Snap Has Lizards Falling from TreesFlorida — it’s that time of year again when chilly temps don’t just have people reaching for jackets… and falling iguana season has officially arrived in Florida, and they’ve got iguanas dropping from trees!
As temperatures dip into the 40s and even 30s, green iguanas, which can grow up to five feet long and weigh more than 15 pounds, go into a kind of cold shock. Their bodies slow down, they stiffen up, and sometimes they lose their grip and fall — but most of them wake back up once the sun warms things up again.
Experts estimate there are hundreds of thousands of iguanas across South Florida, from Miami up through the Treasure Coast. They’re not native to the state — originally from Central and South America — and are considered an invasive species that causes millions in damage each year by digging up seawalls, eating native plants, and taking over neighborhoods.
So, if you see a few frozen lizards on your fall / winter visit to Florida, don’t panic — it’s just another quirky Florida moment. And remember, they are stunned and a large iguana can still bite!
Stay warm and watch your head under those trees!
