I'm not a moniter expert but it looks like a water moniter.

Embarrassed to have sat through that DVD, but I did. It's a Water Monitor (V. salvator). There's a Water monitor also in the Matthew Broderick movie, "The Freshman" (1990) and in the swamp on "Return of the Jedi". Stuff like this makes people want to go out and buy the second biggest lizard on the planet in half-baked attempts to tame them. Bad idea! LOL
