Do a lot of research first before thinking of buying either. The iguana is going to need a LARGE enclosure one that is high so it can climb.
Holy crap is the oscar in your avatar yours? Wild coloration.
Do you have much snake/lizard experience? If not iguanas can be pretty challenging as Brooklynella says...but then agian so can ball pythons when it comes to feeding.

does it have to be an iguana or a ball python if not
for snakes a corn or rat snake would be better and for a lizard I think a beardie or leopard geckos would be best

Iguanas are messy, eat a lot, poop a lot, and will probably whoop your @ss one day when its fully grown.
Ball pythons are the pinnacle in low-maintenance pets as long as you set them up properly to begin with.
If you even have to ask "should you get an iguana," then the answer is probably no.
If you are looking for a lizard that you can interact with, I'd look into getting a bearded dragon instead. They stay a lot smaller and you can let them out of their cage without fear of them trying to get lost.

Im kind of a iguana fan. I keep a cople myself and they are some of the most fun pets I ever had. But again they are high mantenance like the others said. Have you also consider something like a blue tong skink or a chinese water dragon? they are also very hardy and beautifull lizards.
