Frozen iguanas falling from trees are a real Florida weather trend.

Iguanas are known to thrive in Florida's warm climate, and they like to sleep in trees. When temperatures hit below freezing, the 30s or 40s, that slows them down or immobilizes them. Freezing is below 32 degrees. They stiffen up and lose their grip on branches — hence, the "falling iguanas" reference.

The frozen iguanas can remain paralyzed on the ground for hours until the weather warms up enough to let their blood thaw. The paralysis effect is temporary.

Iguanas can be found along canal banks, shrubs, culverts, drainage pipes, rock piles and the occasional golf course. When the weather is cold enough for "frozen iguanas," petrified reptiles are likely found on sidewalks and sometimes pool decks.
