Several years ago we had a spell of a few weeks when the temps got into the 40s and didn't get above 50 something. During that time most of our "exotics" passed away. Peacock bass, lizards, any introduced species as well as THOUSANDS of iguanas. Recently, they've been making a slow comeback and although I haven't seen any more 6 footers, there are already some that are 4 or more feet. This one was sunning himself in our parking lot at work. At about 20", he few used to leave and whipped at me with his tail. Almost certainly a female because even our small males have an orange coloration with dominant males in bright orange and huge neck frills. These are the cold survivors and off spring of them. Maybe eventually a new strain?
