How to introduce a possible wild ig.....

to my Quazi?? I am considering it. If anyone followed my "Uh-Oh" post the little sucker came out, and now of course I am getting attached to him. I was told he was a wild ig, but I don't know if I am convinced. Can anyone tell me the behavior or wild igs when around humans? Because this guy let my friend hold him the whole truck ride here, and let me hold him, and when he finally came out of hiding this morning, he didn't seem too threatened by us. I would think a wild ig would flip out at the first sight of us?? So, first--do you think he is wild or someone's pet possibly? And second, if I decide to keep him, how would I introduce him to Quazi, who is 10 yrs old, and has been alone a couple of months since Stevie died? Quazi would get aggressive with Stevie who was a female, so I am afraid of a fight between these two? If you all convince me that this must be a captive iguana based on the behavior I described than of course i will post signs in the neighborhood it was found. Any help appreciated here! Like I said, I know nothing of the behavior or wild igs, so don't know if this is one.
