Ummmm, this is all a little convoluted, but if you have an iguana on your property you should really seek the assistance of a local wildlife agency. They can safely remove the iguana and return it to a safe and natural habitat.
ps. Okay Fireside3, I did not know that that jumbled, ungrammatical mess was supposed to indicate 'Florida' (and I am not the only one, judging by the other answers asking where it was).
If it is then the case that it would already have been domesticated then I do recommend seeking out SOME body that can find the iguana an appropriate home, not just giving it away via Yahoo Answers. In Australia (not sure if the exist in other parts of the world) we have the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). They will take in stray/lost animals, tend to any wounds/injuries they might have, microchip them, and put them out for 'adoption'. I am sure bodies like this exist everywhere in the world.

Ummmm...no they won't! Wildlife officers in that part of Florida will safely remove the Iguana...but THEY WILL NOT RETURN IT TO A SAFE NATURAL HABITAT BECAUSE IT'S NATURAL HABITAT IS NOT FLORIDA! It is part of the problem of released former pet Iguanas in Florida, that are now breeding and have set up an artificial Iguana population in Florida. The Wildlife officials will likely put it to sleep because it can't be returned to the wild where it is native, and they won't turn it back loose in Florida. You will either have to leave it be, or find a Iguana rescue/rehabilitator. Much is required to keep a Iguana. Don't try it if you don't have the funds or space to buy what it needs. It's chaces would be better out in the wild of Florida. I usually wouldn't say to release a non-native reptile, but that is where you found it and these Florida Iguanas seem to be doing well. I just couldn't have the game wardens come take it off and kill it instead.

I would recommend find a reptile rescue near you and give it to them.
On this website there is a list of rescues in FL.
