       Amazing! They're definitely survivors! No wonder they've been
       around so long.

       I have heard that about reptiles before and wondered if they
       were able to save any of the frozen iguanas when Fla had that
       freeze and they fell outta trees. I have no idea how i did that
       earlier but serious have heard some lizards can come back

       People were actually "trying to help the iguanas" by picking
       them up in vehicles, and intending to move them to some place
       warmer. The problem was the vehicles were "some place warmer"
       the iguanas became active and were causing accidents (because
       the special folks, were just throwing iguanas into the vehicles,
       not containing them, just piling them up in the back seats and
       what have you. Seems the iguanas, were not very thankful,
       apparently having dozens of iguanas wake up and swarm your
       vehicle is not a good thing.
