Dead Upon Arrival?

We just got in our Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman and it was in a very small cloth bag that didn't really provide a lot of space to move, and it was pretty cold. When I removed it and opened the bag, it was kinda balled up and 'frozen', not literally frozen, in an awkward position...

Is it dead or is it just too cold? 'Cause I know that reptiles will just lock up if they're too cold. We thought we felt movement in the chest, but we aren't 100% sure. I've placed it under a heat lamp in hopes that it's just cold...

Any ideas?
