'Frozen' iguanas everywhere: Florida roads, sidewalks, yards [View all]
South Floridians awoke Sunday to find “frozen” iguanas in their yards, streets, sidewalks and driveways after record low temperatures stunned the invasive reptiles.
At 8:50 a.m., 10 minutes before the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission opened its Sunrise drop-off location Sunday morning, John Bridgman and his wife, Lindsey, waited with a trash bag filled with two dozen iguanas.
The FWC opened five designated drop-off offices in the South and Southwest regions on Sunday and Monday to temporarily allow people to remove live, cold-stunned green iguanas from the wild without a permit.
When temperatures drop and sustain to near-freezing or below, reptiles and amphibians, including nonnative green iguanas, can go into a state of torpor, where they temporarily lose muscle control and appear “frozen,” according to the FWC.

I hear they're edible. Not that I want to try one.
