Is this lizard dead? or not?

As you may well know, Florida has been getting hit harder than usual by cold fronts.



Most of the reptile population is dieing (iguanas, pythons, and gators). i even saw birds dieing. the animals here aren't used to this cold.



Well, i found this little anoly type lizard(only changes colors from green to brown depending on mood) in my backyard. it looks dead but when i heat it up with semi hot water it seems to gasp for air every minute or so. but now i have it laying on my fishtank( the cover is warm because of the light bulbs) and it isn't gasping anymore. is it dead?Is this lizard dead? or not?I saw on the news that most of those lizards out there will go into hibernation due to the severe cold. As the weather warms up, they will come out of it and be fine. BUT if you try to warm them up too fast, you might do more harm than good. Chances are that your lizard is fine but will need a couple days to come out of hibernation.
Is this lizard dead? or not?
It could be dieing or it could be going into a semi-hibernation state. Keep it warm and see what happens
Is this lizard dead? or not?
