Welcome to the Iguana Chronicles, where we uncover the wild and often surprising world of South Florida’s invasive iguanas. In this episode, host Michael, the owner of Humane Iguana Control, shares firsthand stories about the dramatic “Big Iguana Freeze”—a unique event where cold temperatures send iguanas tumbling from trees and rooftops across the region.

Listen in as we explore why these chilly conditions trigger iguana brumation (a state similar to hibernation), what really happens to these cold-stunned creatures, and how community efforts helped safely remove hundreds of iguanas during this extraordinary weather. Mike sheds light on both the ecological impact and the humane side of iguana management, revealing how locals, wildlife, and professional teams all responded to this phenomenon.

If you’re curious about protecting your yard, maintaining local ecosystems, or simply want to hear fascinating tales of South Florida wildlife, this episode serves up essential tips, expert insights, and plenty of eye-opening moments.
