I am not sure why they tell people not to pick them up. If you don't know what you are doing you could hurt the iguana.
Also, they are a big lizard with sharp claws and sharper teeth. They are also wild animals. If the iguana starts to warm and wakes up it could really hurt you.

The iguana beside the pool is an absolutely beautiful specimen. It would be very sad if it dies.

Perhaps this would be a good time to round up iguanas. They are invasive and causing problems so removing them from the ecosystem would be good. I would hope they could do it as more of a rescue than a cull. These are beautiful intelligent lizards. They didn't ask to be dumped in Florida. Some would be released pets. I think some have gotten loose during hurricanes and they have survived and reproduced.
Whatever happens, it is sad that this is happening to them. Many will die.
