The record-breaking cold snap last weekend surprised some South Florida residents — iguanas, stunned by the cold.

The invasive green iguana is not an unusual sighting in Florida, but the cool weather that has South Florida’s cold-blooded iguanas stunned has longtime iguana trapper Blake Wilkins leaping for lizards. Wilkins, the owner of Red Line Iguana Removal, said that the cold snap helped his team catch around 3,000 iguanas in just two days.

Iguanas are cold-blooded and cannot regulate their own body heat, so when temperatures dipped below 40, some became stunned while others died. Wilkins warns people to remain alert, because one cold snap won’t solve South Florida’s invasive iguana problem.
