Bigboy revives a dead iguana using CPR

[Scolopeon]

Something really impressive here, my friend Bigboy3293 (known for voice training in reptiles) lost his pet iguana outside and the animal looked dead for however long.

Anyway, in true expert fashion he shows owners what to do if you encounter a situation like this, i'll let the vid speak for itself from here on.

Scolo,

I guess in this case it really was just sleeping. I suspect all the squeezing poking and prodding were unnecessary and good gradual warm up would have produced the same results.

Yup. Looks like the iguana was chilled to the point that its metabolism slowed to nearly nothing, and then warmed up. I don't think anything the guy did aided in its recovery other than placing it back in its enclosure. I'd also keep an eye on that iguana to make sure it doesn't end up with a respiratory infection.
