That's correct, Varanus salvator is the scientific name (as per the link you posted). Please add it to the scientific name space so your spotting can be removed from the unidentified list. Thanks

Looks like it could be a water monitor.

Thank you for the comment. I believe this is a lizard and my guess is a monitor lizard. But I am not too sure and wondering if there are anyone who can guess it right...

I keep wondering if this could be a Gar alligator?
