Here’s what is happening here in Ft. Lauderdale from the cold snap we are having.
This is what I found when I walked my dog just around my block this morning. I have no idea right now if these things are dormant or dead. I put them in a box to thaw out so we will see if I can save them or what. These things are dropping from the trees around here like flies. I think it’s sad. I know they are not suppose to be here, but if they are gone, I will miss them.
It is sad, and they look dead. Let us know if you have any luck.
The Knight Anoles are not dead, still not sure about the iguana. They all really looked dead when I first found them, they were stone cold. The iggy has a lot more mass to him, maybe that takes longer. I am keeping them in my shed, which is warmer than outdoors but not so warm they warm up too fast. I hope the iguana is not dead either.
Poor things, if they come around you may want to keep them as pets, cuban anoles are my favorites (they have horrible dispositions even if cb, so no prob) and the ig is still small, it can be tamed, the best of luck!
Actually, I just thought about it a little while ago, but it is probably illegal for me to let them go? Sounds crazy but I'm probably suppose to chop their heads off with a machete, now I ask you, does that sound like some sick thing or what? Since they are not confined, even though they are in an environment where they are more likely to survive, I guess they are not actually captured. I'm not killing them, that's for sure.
You CAN release them IF you do that in the exact same place you find them. And please dont chop theirs heads of, there are many other alternatives. How are they doing?
Several weeks later and South Florida is still littered with dead iggy carcasses. We have had cold snaps that brought overnight cool temps, but it always warmed up enough during the day to keep them alive. This time it stayed cold for 3-4 days straight. I haven't seen a live one yet, and you literally could not go out of the house without seeing one before. Everywhere there is a tree overhanging the water, there are dead iguanas floating below. I miss them!
