I have seen some iguanas here in Ft. Lauderdale that survived the big chill. They look dark, sickly and deflated. I think they are too doomed. They don’t look good. There are vastly reduced numbers where there were very many before. It is quite apparent that most were killed. This is along the east side of town and New River where it did not get nearly as cold as the interior areas. I have no doubt there are some Burmese that survived the big chill alive right now, that will be dead soon as well. If any of the radio transmitter fitted pythons survived the initial chill (the sample was only ten pythons, wasn’t it?) I believe they will all- 100% - be dead within just a few weeks. I have to wonder about the secrecy and rush to finalize the findings before the death toll does hit 100%, as it most probably will. How does a tropical burmese python survive when crocodiles living in the artificially warm cooling canals of the nuclear power plant die from the cold?
