Watch a Man Create a Homemade Spa and Miraculously Bring a Frozen Iguana Back to Life

Jacob Feder is a popular Youtube personality with a focus on wild animals, particularly lizards. His channel showcases a variety of different topics that will keep just about anybody glued to their seat. 

A video with just over two million views shows how this young man brings frozen iguanas back to life! He found the iguanas outdoors after the temperatures fell below freezing. He starts by taking the poor little guy and places him in the sink. 

The animal influencer runs warm water over the critter until he notices movement, mostly twitching in the iguana’s back legs.

Locals are reminded by Florida Fish and Wildlife not to panic if they see an iguana fall from the sky. The FWC requests that locals refrain from warming up iguanas in their homes or vehicles, despite the fact that the lizards falling may be alarming. Iguanas fall out of trees and enter a state of suspended animation when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. 

The “green guys,” which are invasive species in Florida, are still breathing and maintaining their vital bodily functions, although they appear to be dead. Iguanas have a maximum length of five feet and a maximum weight of 20 pounds. That is like a small to medium-sized dog standing. Think of a huge iguana falling from a tree. 

Self-Preservation

Iguanas are protected throughout this period of cold-stunningness until the temperature rises to over 50 degrees. When temperatures stay in the 40s or lower for longer than eight hours, the reptile is in danger.

Feder decides to bring the lizard into his home because he believes it’s too stunned. After the twitching begins from the warm bath, he notes that he’s removing an invasive species from the environment. 

Near Feder’s home is an avocado grove where a bunch of lizards resides. They snack on the avocados and hang in the trees. Like a baby taking its first steps, Jacob bursts with joy when the iguana opens its eyes for the first time since being stunned! 

A viewer mentions, “I love how excited he got when the iguana was coming back to life.  It’s so good to find another animal lover.”

A lot of the comments under the post are suggestions for names for the revived critter. Some say to call it Frozen, while others suggest Phoenix. Whatever name he gives the iguana, we sure are happy it lived to see another day.
