It's just an iguana. Herbivore. And not that big, a lot of forced perspective. About the same size as a tegu. Tegus can be pretty feisty though.
But no the reptiles to fear is gators and pythons.
It was raining iguanas earlier this year. It got cold down there, and they can't tolerate it. Once they warm back up, they climb back in the trees. We are planning a trip to Florida this summer, my 8 and 6 year old wants to go iguana hunting.
Fwiw, I had a very large pet iguana in my 20's. Very mature adult male grew to about 15lbs & a little over 6'. My estimate is that critter is about the same size & not quite as heavy as Khan & mine was even more orange. Probably a little skewed perspective on the size relationship in the photo as I don't think that fella is any bigger than I am for reference.

If yall want to see monsters, Google black throat monitor and goannas.

And of course komodos.
Yup. Had a Savanna monitor too. He was a puppy in temperament until it was time to eat & then he was a bit of a jerk. Big guy, near 4.5' but thats deceptive (unless you're familiar with them) as they are chunky beasties. Think he weighed more than Khan or just about.
