Even though Florida stays warm and sunny during the day, cooler nighttime temperatures can create a surprising problem, this means iguanas are seeking warmth inside your home. These cold-blooded reptiles rely on the environment to regulate their body temperature, and when the temperature drops at night, they begin searching for warm shelter. Attics, crawlspaces, and vents offer the perfect hiding spots, with iguanas being excellent climbers, using trees, lanais, and screened enclosures like ladders to reach rooftops. Once inside, they can cause serious trouble by chewing through wiring, damaging insulation, and leaving behind droppings that create both structural and health hazard issues.
What many homeowners don’t realize is that once an iguana finds its way into your attic, it’s not just seeking warmth, it’s preparing for nesting season. In early spring, a single female can lay up to 80 eggs, turning one winter guest into a major infestation by the time warmer weather arrives. Baby iguanas can spread quickly through your property, leading to even more damage and costly repairs. That’s why taking preventive action before the temperatures drop is the smartest move a Florida homeowner can make.
