I'm not a Floridian, but we were in the Keys last winter, and got a bit off the tourist track (my 13 year old wanted to see No Name Key because it features prominently in some of the books he was reading). Wandered around a bit in the brush and discovered a large healthy, and happy looking iguana apparently living wild. Well, we asked the waitress about it over lunch, and she agreed that there were a number of them living wild there. They had originally been released pets, but were now successfully breeding.
So they apparently can live in very Southern Florida. (No idea what they do to the ecology of the region, though the waitress did mention that cats seemed to be their main predators).
