The countless stray cats around here have eaten them but that was when they were fresh now all are gone maybe cats,turtles,birds ate them.
The vultures esp hit the jackpot.

I went fishing yesterday saw 2 of them eating. The one's that survived would be ideal to breed for pet industry as they are cold tolerant compared to most.
 
What kinds of vultures live in the area?

im being serious,,,could anyone ship me like 2 cane toads,its really hard to find them for sale here....just wondering if anyone could also what about a big iguana???just let me know.
Cane toads yes, they tame in like minutes:D once they know you are the one with the food they will become as sweet as pups, just dont forget how toxic thouse glands are so no put face near them, allways wash hands. Also they need a fairly big terrarium but the rest is easy. As for a wild cauth adult iguana...dude seriously forget about:grinno: Wild adult iguanas can be absolute hell to deal with, bitting, scrashing, pooping, tail lashing,etc They CAN be tamed but it takes ALOT of pacience and TLC. If you want a great chance to endup with a tame ig get a baby and raise it to adulthood or better yet get a already tame one that needs a loving home, allways avaible for adoption at www.greeniguanasociety.com

If they truly freze death is more likely but if they are simply letargic from the cold but not frozen then they can come around but make no mistake, cold temparatures are DANGEROUS to iguanas, to said that they are extremely delicate like some state its not true, they are tough as nails if they need to but for the pet owner conserned by its pet well being its top priority making shure its ig is allways keept well into the 60-70s in the lowest. Also if a ig comes around doesant mean it will survive, many will simply endup with a repiratory infection and die past some days
