That's definitely a Ctenosaura, but without a clearer photograph of it, particularly the hind legs and tails, it would be hard pressed to say what species it exactly is. A lot of people jump to similis, it used to be more common, but over the last couple of years a lot of Ctenosaura have been available that are neither similis or pectinata, the larger and more common ones found in the pet trade.
They are quite omnivorous, will usually gleefully eat anything. They do not tame down much and are known for being quite aggressive. I have several species of them and they do get to know their caretaker well and will interact, but handling is a no-go with these guys. They tend to be quite flighty.
