Yeah, this is here in the east coast, remember? They're apparently illegal to capture in most of their native range, so captive-bred specimens fetch a lot.
I catch lizards all the time whit a small snare for my college reserch but anyway I must warn you that desert igs are not a easy species to keep, they stress a lot and tend to have finiky eating habits that is if you can get her to eat at all. The fact that you live in the lizard´s natural habitat may help if you are willing to build her a outdoor pen whit the plants that he feeds on the wild. I recomend however that you do the rigth thing and both of you enjoy them where they bellong in the wild and get your cousin a nice leopard gecko. He will be much happier in the long run
Oh and by the way here are some guys willing to pay more than 250 euro for a captive bred one

I don't see why, if you came down here you would find thousands of them. So their clearly not endangered, but oh well I checked my range, their legal to catch here.
I would take advantage of where you live and build an outdoor enclosure for them if you decide on catching a few. I also agree with coura that you should just enjoy the fact that you are lucky enough to have them living wild in your backyard. Not too many people have that luxury. I think you should go take some photos of them for all of us to see.

try this use dark colored sheets to make a "V" shaped fence around the iguanas at the tip of the "V" put a cage. the chase the iguanas in the direction of the cage the fence will funnel them into the cage.
Actually, in the desert you want to dig a hole and put a bucket into the ground. Put some food around and in the bucket. You can set many of these up, just remember where you put them (GPS?).
