to be specific (yet not exact) it is a Philippine Water Monitor Lizard, and nope, it is not venomous..though its mouth tends to accumulate bacteria from carcasses if wild-caught

why is it water monitor lizard? does that mean that its habitat is mostly in the water?

Idk too, but that's what the taxonomist label them.. I think it is because of their habit to swim in water, yet not literally live in water.. and yet, they are commonly found near bodies of water..

hope this helps, mau ni sa k2 akoang science section nga thread..

note* the color is much darker than yours, maybe because the picture below is an adult, also it is wet..
