I found a 3 1/2 foot green iguana outside my driveway?
I found a 3 1/2 foot green iguana outside my driveway. It has been extremely cold here in florida, dipping to the temps of 30 degrees at night. He was very cold to the touch, so I brought him in the house. I put him in the bath tub with warm water, and he is starting to come back. What do I need to do next? To ensure he'll make it and live healthy..

While iguanas are not native to florida, that doesn't automatically make it someone's pet. I suggest doing a LOT of research if you're considering keeping it, seeing as it's only about half it's adult size as of now, and if it is a feral, it will want nothing to do with you, regardless of how nicely you treat it or how good your care is.

I'd find out if anyone in your area has lost an iguana, if not, and if you're not interested in keeping it (not a good starter lizard by the way, even if it was someone's pet), there are various rescues that will take it in.
I live in Florida, too! It is cold! Iguanas are very advanced reptiles. You should do lots of research before you do anything. You may decide to post on craigslist 'found iguana'. It has to be a pet, iguanas are not native to Florida. If you decide to keep it, do a ton of research of the dos and don'ts.
it needs a cage, lights, food, a lot actually. find a reptile rescue that might take it or help you out in caring for it. they are a lot of work and needs lots and lots of space.
it eats romaine and green leaf lettuce, among other veggies. use the links below for more info.
