Falling iguanas in store for Florida as temps drop below 40
CLICKORLANDO ^ | December 24, 2020

Posted on 12/25/2020 3:34:04 PM PST by nickcarraway

With unexpectedly cold weather in the forecast and pandemic-related curfews in some places, Florida is about to have a Christmas unlike any other in recent memory, and it may involve falling iguanas.

The National Weather Service earlier this week warned that South Florida could experience the coldest Christmas Day in 21 years. Morning lows on Saturday could drop into the low 30s and 40s degrees Fahrenheit, the weather service said.

“ Brrr! Much colder temps expected for Christmas," the National Weather Service in Miami tweeted earlier this week. “Falling iguanas are possible."

Why would Iguanas be falling in stores?
Are they hiding in the rafters to keep warm?

The Iguanas should have checked the Weather Report.

“Falling iguanas are possible.”

Yes folks, falling iguanas are possible, and that’s why, for just three easy payments of $19.99, you can own this certified iguana-proof helmet. Get one for that special person in your life that you don’t want to get kanocked on the head by airborne reptiles.

Iguanas are not native to Florida and are considered an invasive species. They are also quite tasty.

I don’t see the problem.

Folks, we of The National Federation of Lizard Catchers are issuing this emergency call to the citizens of southern Florida to please pull your trampolines under a tree to help break the fall of some drunken lizard diving out of a tree.

Pick up all the ones you can find and kill them.........Those that survive, shoot them with pellet rifles..........

Cold weather is the ideal time to deal with them so take advantage of it........./

Invasive fallen iguanas should be put in to the freezer to finish them off.

It would be nice if the cold weather also reduces the python population in Florida. They are another invasive species that is harming the local ecosystem.

Hopefully the cold temps will kill some of the Burmese pythons infesting the Everglades.
