Using an electric heater to warm cold iguanas
In the region that I live, there is an urban legend that when the temperature drops below 40 degrees outside, the iguanas that live in the trees will freeze and fall from the trees.
These iguanas are invasive and they are also very large.
A falling iguana can cause significant damage to humans and cars. The temperature has recently dropped below 40 degrees and there were some cases of iguanas falling from the trees in the region that I live. One of my coworkers has always loved having these invasive reptiles as neighbors, and even has kept a few as pets that she has raised from babies. In order to make sure that the iguanas in the parking lot of our workplace were safe, Sam used a portable electric space heater to warm the iguanas when she saw one frozen falling from a tree. I do not assume that her intention was to have this portable space heater in her car for this very reason, but when she realized that the temperatures would not increase during the day, she charged her portable space heater! Sam is very funny and has a kind heart. All day, she was in the parking lot of our job heating the frozen iguanas with her portable space heater. She posted about this on her social media account and was pleased to find that others were taking the time the warm the iguanas with electric space heaters, portable heaters and even keeping them warm in their vehicles.
