I tamed my iguana with food. I tried to feed him by hand a few times a day and even if he wasnt interested I still did it to get him used to my hand in the cage. Eventually he came and ate from my hand. When he was comfortable with that I would pull it closer to me above my hand so that if he wanted to eat he would have to climb onto me. Eventually he was comfortable with this and I could take him just outside the cage. I let him return whenever he wanted to.
After a while, the trust builds up that you can just pick him up and take him out when you want. It may take a lot of time, and requires a lot of patience, but its definately worth it.

Good luck!
