I know it is all relative since last night Ticonderoga was -8 degrees, but it was also quite cold here on the Treasure Coast at 47 degrees. These chilly temps are when the iguanas come out and their systems can't handle the cold, so they become temporarily paralyzed and fall from the trees. Once the temps warmed up this morning, we went kayaking along the St. Lucie River and came across two large blue-green iguanas trying to soak up the heat of the sun in the mangroves. My photo below only shows one, and it was sleeping with its feet hanging over the branch and its tail hanging almost to the water, looking like a mangrove root (look for the stripes). We didn't disturb them and moseyed on our way.
More cold weather is expected early next week so they need that sunshine...just like us!
