It bathes in the sun to get warm like all reptiles. At night they stay still to preserve their warmth.

By basking in the sun until its blood warms, then goes out hunting, then sleeps. Then its blood cools again and the cycle repeats

yes, an iguana is cold blooded that means it has to stay hot and warm from 130 to 100 degrees during the day with a uvb ray light so it gets its vitamin d3 and at night 70-80 degrees depending on how green you iguana is.


If you fing an iguana that is too cold what should you do to save his life?

It needs to be warmed up and quickly. Take a towel and put it in your clothes dryer for a little while to heat it up a bit you don't want it too hot because it might but the iguana. Then drape it over the iguana very carefully. Or if it is in a cage you could use heat lamps or if you don't have any then the warm towel and place it over the iguana. It will seek the heat. If it's a wild iguana you must be extremely careful. Do not keep it if it's wild. Call a place that handles wild animals. And after handling any type of reptile you MUST wash your hands. Actually I think I said warm him up.
