Mark: I couldn't help but laugh when I saw your post on 102 degrees. It would be nice to only have 102 degrees! I've had cyclura out doors year round for almost 20 years, including when temps hit 122 degree in Phoenix. They often get temps over 110 degrees and over 100 days per year above 100 degrees.
They have mosquite trees which provide some shade plus their shelters. The heat has never been a problem for any of the iguana species: cyclura, ctenosaura or greens. It is the winters that are the challange . . . heat lights, etc.
Bye the way it's only 107 today! The chucks & iguanas will be laying soon! Love the heat!
Jerry
