Its hard to tell from the picture but it may be one of the iguana's hemipenes.
If it is remaining out you need to get him to a vet pronto as the tissue will dry up and die.

It could be a hemipene. but couldn't it also be a stuck plug? It's very hard to tell from the pic.

Semen plug, they usually drop them anywhere they feel like it however sometimes they don't push them the whole way out. You still need to have it looked at by a vet whether it's a plug or a hemipene. You need to get him to the vet immediately this is nothing to play around with.
