3. Good. Be sure to kill the green shit heads if you find some

It needs to get that cold and stay that cold for a few days and take all the non-native species out.

This isn’t the first time it’s happened, either. Every time there is a cold snap like this, they lose their grip and fall out of the trees by the hundreds

4. Worst cover of "It's Raining Men" ever!

5. Ohh, those photos. Damn, guys. I find it very sad.

Seriously. They may be Iguanas and not cute cuddly Koalas, but really?

9. I used to have one as a pet

He was the sweetest little thing (I think). I had him potty trained to go in one of my huge potted plants. When I would come home from work, he would crawl up onto my head and perch there for the evening. And he loved baths.

6. Yep true but they will thaw out. The wind chill in SW Fl 27 degrees!

7. But it's true

They drop when it gets cold

8. They are quite messy

Especially around pools and patios

I can’t believe the wind chill is sub 32 degrees right now!

10. This is a real thing

Found two of them in the yard this morning after some strange thumping noises last night.

The disgusting creatures are invasive here so I wish it happened often enough to clear them out.

11. Donald Trump is working on his weather map with a sharpie

Evidently the iguana storm could spread to minnesota...

12. They also usually turn a dark blue or purple when it gets cold

Most of them thaw out and are fine after it warms up later in the day. They are invasive, and I wish the cold would kill most of them and also the big snakes let loose in the Everglades.

13. When I was in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, they were everywhere.

You would have to step over them on the sidewalks. Some were quite large. Cool animals.
